Agenda:
NB: I don't anticipate the five items I've posted will take a particularly long time user:daibarnes > Closely related to the above Creative Commons and OER (Open Educational Resources), user:theok
 * 1) [] Does this kind of video help further education technology? user:daibarnes
 * 2) [] POI: A vast list of ed tech tools Drew Buddie (@digitalmaverick) user:daibarnes
 * 3) [] This article raises excellent issues for ed tech, especially learning platforms, but I think there is an undeclared commercial interest for an application that feeds related media into a word processor based on the topic you are typing about. However, still warrants discussion. user:daibarnes
 * 4) ETRU Special for new teachers. Let's send messages out to our networks inviting new educators to join a meeting where they set the agenda. Need a date? Or would it be better to guage response and then set a date? Maybe we could each invite a teacher that we know? user:daibarnes
 * 5) [] Fantastic screencast of use of GForms and SSheets, especially for schools using GApps (obviously). user:daibarnes
 * 6) RocketScience - a short rant - user:jrowing
 * 7) We've started to look at the next round of hardware purchases and it looks like we're going to make a large investment in netbooks. What are people using out there already? What's good and what's bad in the netbook world? And what's on the horizon? user:mrstacey //(Nb. If this get bumped to next week no worries, this week looks pretty crowded already!)//
 * 8) Would like to discuss copyright issues - complex rules and lots of grey areas. Agenda this week looks a bit full already. user:markclarkson Good copyright presentation file here: []
 * 1) Perhaps a quick section on recommended iPhone/Android/BlackBerry apps for education? I've been using [|AirMouse] with my iPhone and Interactive Whiteboard for the last few weeks. Works really well with Google Earth and allows you to be at the back of the classroom to see what the students see! :-) user:dajbelshaw
