In this week’s meeting we covered discussions around Flash memory based camcorder, OCR Nationals, green screen technology and video editing, equipment for the mobile teacher, what the recent Ofsted report on safeguarding could mean in schools, the banning or use of mobile phones in the classroom, best affordable laptops for staff and student use, options for future ETRU TeachMeets and other teachmeets.

There were a good number of regulars missing from this week’s FlashMeeting – all for good reasons – but it was great to welcome some new faces. We began with a quick plug for David Noble’s Edonis project, which forms part of his Ed.D. research. We then discussed Doug, José & Ian’s involvement in an upcoming Becta-funded Open Source Schools project and issues surrounding that. After this, we moved on to an update on Internet Safety materials, prompted by Louise Jones, and finally we got to the wonder of iPhones and educational uses for the plethora of applications available for it.
