Agenda:

 * VL-freeze - In the light of all the snow, how did those in schools that closed make use of technology to continue teaching/preparing students? What else do we need to make this step more straightforward - better infrastructure, more policy documents? [background reading: http://is.gd/61ABL and http://is.gd/61AUI theo ]
 * Online teacher - a teacher that blogs about classroom practice affords an opportunity for self-reflection and the input of others - how valuable might this be? Inspired byb this blog-post which was the highlight of my working week ([]). I loved having access/insight into this teaching and learning process but more so I was inspired by the possibility of worthwhile teaching discussion for all teachers trying to do the best for their cohort. Not practical for all lessons (Dan Meyer is a part-time teacher) but a great example of how a teacher might engage with their own practice. user:daibarnes
