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.
