[K12OSN] "Wikis in Education" Live Interview Thursday Evening; "Moodle" Recorded Interview Available

[Steve Hargadon]

This Thursday evening, at 5:00pm Pacific Time, I will be interviewing
Victoria Davis and Adam Frey on "Wikis--What Are They, and Why Use
Them in Education?"  Vicky is the technology teacher at Westwood
School in Georgia and a pioneer in the use of wikis in education (see
http://westwood.wikispaces.com), and Adam is the co-founder of the
wiki hosting company Wikispaces (www.wikispaces.com).

The interview will be broadcast live by "Skypecast," meaning that you
can listen to the interview by using Skype (www.skype.com) and also
participate in the Q & A session at the end.  The Skypecast link is:
