This week’s meeting was led by Dai Barnes and Doug Belshaw. Dai began by waxing lyrical about his ‘jailbroken’ iPhone, with others contributing what a wonderful thing it is to be released from the fruit shackles. Our major points for discussion were John Heffernan’s plans to roll out Wordpress Multi-User across schools in Ireland, and engaging parents through the use of technology (mainly VLEs, to be fair…)

This week’s meeting was led by Doug Belshaw. After a quick discussion about what constitutes an ‘expert’ in the field of educational technology and how to become one (see this blog post) we moved onto Mary Cooch’s presentation at MoodleMoot. We finished with some discussion of hardware: Tom Barrett told us about the SMART table he’s got on loan in his classroom, then Doug told us about the Optoma Pico projector in which he’s invested!

This week’s meeting was led by Doug Belshaw and focused on two main areas. As a number of us and the wider community are involved in the Open Source Schools project, we discussed the role of Open Source Software in schools and our favourite examples. The only other agenda item was raised by Dave Stacey who asked how we circulated ‘good practice’ regarding educational technology within our schools. Both topics generated some quality discussion.
