Another chat with the Posse
Yesterday was the third Thursday of the month so 80% of the EdTech Posse (Dean Shareski, Alec Couros and Rick Schwier along with me), as well as many friends who joined us in the ustream chat room, once again gathered by the campfire for good conversation (Heather Ross is still on maternity leave but I’m hoping she’ll be able to join us again soon). That’s two podcasts in two months which, I think, is a record for us. We’re tentatively scheduled to get together every month on the third Thursday and if that actually works out, I’m hoping we’ll have some shows out on a more regular basis.Last night was another live streamed show with some friends who joined us in ustream. We’ve done this once before and apart from the cognitive overload (checking ustream chat room, checking twitter, monitoring audio levels) while still trying to carry on a conversation, it seems to be a successful endeavour that we will try again in the future.
As always, it was a great learning experience for me. As Dean said waaaaay back when we started, I probably got several hundreds of dollars worth of Professional Development. I paid nothing. I love it.
Your thoughtful responses

- My grade 9 students are learning/practicing photographic composition. See their work at http://t.co/c2lkNTDv
- @shareski I think you owe him for all the pictures of his kids you put in them.
- @shareski I thought design mattered.
- @cptteacher Thanks for your comments back to the students. They will be happily surprised to be getting comments from outside school.
- @pstratton08 Exactly my thoughts. And I think that knowing your work is going to be on display encourages students to find good photos.
