It is long overdue, but at last the technological hurdles have been overcome, and EdTech Posse Podcast #3 is ready! On July 14, Dean, Rick, Alec and I all had the chance to talk about Laura Turner’s list of Twenty Essential Skills Every Educator Should Have, as published on the THE Journal website. I’ll put some show notes up soon, but I’m in a rush right now to get to a parade with my family. UPDATE The parade is over, I have finished reading the latest Harry Potter book, and yesterday was spent on a road trip to Regina to watch the Saskatchewan Roughriders play such an amazing 4th quarter that they won the game over the Hamilton Tigercats. Thanks for waiting patiently – here are the shownotes: Introductions – Dean’s daughter made it to the final auditions in Toronto for Canadian Idol, and it saved Dean the price of a flight to Toronto for her post-secondary music program audtions. w00t! Main topic of discussion is The List: Twenty Technology Skills Every Educator Should Have by Laura Turner – http://thejournal.com/magazine/vault/A5387.cfm Dean mentions two books during discussion:

• The Flickering Mind
• The World is Flat

Discussion What skills would you put on the list? What skills listed would you disagree with? What are your feelings about the value of such lists?
