 * Apologies**:

Actions from PREVIOUS Meeting:
David Gilmour said he would be willing to join us for the ETR Blogging edition. user:tbarrett

Agenda:
//"I wonder if I could beg a favour? Terry Freedman (http://terry-freedman.org.uk/artman/publish/index.php ) and I are presenting at the BETT show (on the Saturday, see http://www.bettshow.com/page.cfm/action=Seminars/SeminarID=64) for the BCS with the above title, exploring children's informal learning outside the classroom and what implications this might have for teachers and schools. As well as a literature review and some case studies, we've also put together a quick google-form based survey (see http://edtechuk.net ) to get some quantitative data of our own. We'd be delighted if you were willing to publicise this through edtechroundup, or indeed either of your splendid blogs, as well, perhaps as setting aside 10-15 minutes for some of your classes to fill in the form. We'll obviously be sharing our findings at BETT, and probably through some follow-up pieces afterwards."//
 * Miles Berry has been in touch with Tom & Doug asking for a favour:

Actions for NEXT Meeting:
next meeting is 'BIG TOPIC' week on ETR - BLOGGING. Make sure you invite anyone who is interested in contributing

GLOW
Bob has offered to take some screen shots of what GLOW looks like and put on a wiki so that people can see what it looks like.
 * discussion of Maratech vs Flashmeeting in GLOW
 * also related GLOW issues - what's the advantage of GLOW when we have blogs, wikis, Flashmeeting and other Web2.0 tools?
 * GLOW doesn't have to be used exclusively
 * how does it work? is there a blogging feature in GLOW? is it shareable? there are 3 levels of GLOW - you belong to local and national but you are the only people that belong to establishment. It's only a portal - it is clunky though!
 * is it the security issue that makes it attractive?

**Lisibo's week from hell!!**
Problems with free online capture tools, converting flash files, graphics (removing backgrounds/making them transparent) - the power of Twitter saved the day!! Now her microphone is buzzing!!

**Education 2020**
user:Islayian shared about conference on Islay - http://education2020.wikispaces.com/ to build up the agenda for the conference - and to discuss ideas about what education will be like in 2020 when this year's 5 year olds will leave school. and unconference on 12th June Warehouse 4 of Bowmore Distillery!!

Joe Wilson - I think it will be wirless cloud computing kids will be online all the time with kids own laptops or other mini device and that teacher could be anywhere in globe. user:islayian http://ltsblogs.org.uk/connected/2008/06/16/islay-highs-skyhigh-ambition/ notes online as PDFs downlaoded to tablets. will pupils come to school every day or will they work online, or within industry / university etc for part of the week?
 * Should education in 2020 be one to one?** is there another model? Does it depend on age group?
 * How do we get to our vision for 2020?**

**IOW CONFERENCE**
feedback from user:joedale **-** lots of people got into Twitter disappointed that more didn't come from SSAT schools. numbers down from last year but could be many reasons! one of best bits - the Twitter wall!
