This week’s meeting was led by Doug Belshaw. Those of use who attended TeachMeet Midlands 2009 (either physically, or virtually through the FlashMeeting) discussed our experiences. There was some further planning for an upcoming ETRU Special, and then the rest of our time was dedicated to general edtech news, views and opinions!

This ETRU Special was co-hosted by Dai Barnes and Doug Belshaw. We’ve been discussing Virtual Learning Environments and Learning Platforms on-and-off for weeks now, so the time had come to have the chance to invite some experts in and have a lengthier discussion. We talked to Jeff O’Hara (@zemote), co-founder of Edmodo, discussed the various options when it comes to integrating a VLE, and some ideas for best practice. We finished with approaches for getting all staff onboard when deploying a VLE institution-wide.

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. There were plenty of educators willing to share their thoughts and experience about data management applications, barriers to educational change, and the potential for Virtual Learning Environments, or VLEs, in schools.

This week’s meeting was led by Dai Barnes. We had a packed agenda to get through, mostly contributed by Dai himself! The majority of our conversation centred around the use of children in videos calling for educational change, the ins-and-outs of copyright legislation in UK schools, and iPhone apps that are useful in education. Joe Rowing had a quick rant about RocketScience and Dave Stacey wanted our opinions on netbooks in classrooms. All good stuff!

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.

Dai Barnes did a sterling job steering the conversation this week. Whether it was because it was the week before the all-pervasive BETT 2009, because it was the weekend after the first week back at school, or a combination of the two, there were less in attendance. Thankfully, the quality of the conversation didn’t drop with the numbers and, in fact, the fruits of the discussion in terms of an installation of Jumpbox, can be found at EdTechRoundup.co.uk
