Agenda:

 * Doug's interview technique - using Twitter and phenomenal response - other ideas on how it could use in similar situation? (user:dajbelshaw) | [|Link >]
 * Other ways of presenting - e.g. [|Alan Levine's use of 'CoolIris'] (another example of this method by Dean Shareski [|here]) You'll need the [|CoolIris plugin] to get these to work properly!
 * I read [|Robert Jones blog post]a few weeks ago on the concept of 'My Web is better'. To explain his web it is a tailor made solution where on one page he can "pretty much all the new stuff from all the sites that interest me to a single page set up to make it very easy for me to see at a glance what is new"...."My Web connects me to a huge network of educators "..."My Web provides me with free office tools that I can access on any connected device"..."My Web lets me create my own rich web applications and host them free online "....
 * What I'd like to discuss is
 * What does your web look like for you?
 * What does/or could 'My Web' look like for the pupils you teach? How can this be integrated into the curriculum?
 * What could 'My Web' look like for other teachers? ( user:krysia )
 * [|Guardian article]on leaked reforms to primary curriculum and expectations that all pupils will understand blogs, podcasts, Twitter and Wikipedia by end of Yr6
 * not to speak specifically but reminder all welcome to join wiki on Copyright, IPR,Licensing, Open Educational resources at []

Actions for NEXT Meeting:

 * Louise to attempt (with help) to capture the audio.

Further Contributors or Thoughts
.. Doug had one on his blog from the TALMOS incident - maybe we could use as a base and update?user:marycooch
 * List of popular VLEs...


 * Louise J - Lifestyle Survey for P7, S2 & S4 pupils using limesurvey.org This survey has gone live and in preparation schools have been offered printed booklets, there has been quite a low number of schools requesting the printed copies (6/230 schools so far) Positive feedback has been received, particularly from one HT who was able to put the survey link on their VLE and filter the pupils in the year groups logon IDs so that only the S2 and S4's could access it. Some schools also said they were pleased to get pupils to use an online survey and consider aspects such as confidentiality.
