This Booruch episode is an edit of my contribution to the Education Unbound 2008 event, organised by Online Creative Communications.  It was held at Adam Street Private Members' Club, on The Strand, London on 8th October.  Also on the panel were Dan Sutch, Catherine Howell and Andy Gibson.  The event was chaired by Matt I.

This week, I talk about: projects such as Year Dot and School of Everything which I learnt about when I presented at Education Unbound 2008 in London; changes in how I have engaged with Web 2.0 over the last 12 months; and how Booruch and the edonis project will dovetail from January.

This week, I talk about: early thoughts and ideas on TeachMeetASCD@Orlando and a TeachMeet hosted with a Scottish council, both taking place early next year; the RoPeCast English language podcast and new audio and video podcasts from Careers Scotland; and a project plan that I am developing which aims to enhance academic opportunities for motivated children who are 'looked after', influenced by some of the 'disruption' ideas of Clayton Christensen.

This week, I give my initial thoughts on the iPhone 3G.  I talk about: how I have been using it in my professional life; ways in which iPhone Apps (applications) could be used within teaching and learning; and briefly, how this type of mobile technology could 'disrupt' traditional schooling.

This week, I announce details of the edonis study; 3-year longitudinal research into educators' use of the 'social web'.  I outline the study and invite listeners to participate.  Involvement can take the form of being a subject of the research, through to active involvement in the 'community of practice' which is building up around the edonis ning site.

To take part, please email me at edonisproject@yahoo.co.uk .

Show #62 will be out on Friday, 10th October.

Please note - this podcast should not be listened to through earphones, due to interference. Listening via speakers will be OK.

This very special episode of Booruch is an interview with Jaye Richards; teacher at Cathkin High in South Lanarkshire, Glow Mentor and teacher-researcher.  The interview took place in late July.

The GTCS recently published her paper, "Will the Lights Stay On? Glow and Embedding ICT into Secondary School Curriculum Subjects: A Quantitative and Qualitative Design-based Classroom Study".  During the hour interview, Jaye talks about the findings from her research into the creation of a Glow Group for use within teaching and learning in one of her Biology classes.

This week I look back at some of the subjects and projects that included the use of new technologies, which I was involved in this school year.  I talk about my work over the summer, and look ahead to building on current initiatives and collaborations after the break, including the launch of the edonis research project.

EPR#62 will be out in early October.

This week I discuss Scottish teachers' 'Code of Professionalism and Conduct' which was recently published by the General Teaching Council for Scotland.  I focus on: how aspects of the Code relate to those teachers who are using the 'Social Web'; possible impact on practice within Glow; and collegiality and co-operation 'without walls'.

This week, I discuss how the '31 Day Blog Comment Challenge' could inform and inspire UK educators to develop the quantity and quality of professionals' and students' commenting, as well as eventually, a UK student-centred edublog awards. I also reflect on new technologies (Animoto, Voicethread, Second Life and Wikispaces) that I looked at with a fellow edublogger recently.
