Agenda:

 * IMPORTANT - I'm passing on a request from a colleague, who is dear to many of us, that we do not refer to the specific case below during the Flashmeeting tonight; the replay of which is available on the web (in addition to the edited podcast**). **If this is unacceptable, then maybe we should consider making the meeting private (which will still allow for an edited podcast). If necessary, I can arrange this.** user:DavidNoble


 * Scottish LA bans Twitter. [|Telegraph news article] . Without wanting to refer to the case specifically (see note above) - what implications does something like this have for teaching professionals using social networking? What are the rules in regards to using social networking sites during school hours / from school premises / using school equipment. Would imagine it is LA specific - is there a national consensus? user:markclarkson
 * Who has been googling twittering teachers this week?
