We celebrated our 1st birthday this week with a gorgeous chocolate cake that Lisa Stevens baked for our flashmeeting.

Dai Barnes did a great job keeping us on task.  In this week’s show, Lisa spoke about her trip to an eTwinning conference in Madrid and we discussed the use of audio (Voki, podcasting and Voicethread) in the classroom.

Theo Kuechel joined us to tell us about a project called Edutube that he is working on with European partners.  We discussed how video material could be made avaiable to teachers and the things that would enhance the usability of digital media in the classroom.

Tom Barrett described a lesson he had planned for using Woices in the classroom involving geotagged audio to create a digital narrative - creating a story with text and audio within a map using Google Earth.

Dai Barnes recommended itweet.net - a web client for twitter.

Tom Barrett spoke about having a Tweet Meet - a proposal for a preChristmas meet up for people using Twitter, possibly in Nottingham.

Lisa Stevens blew out the Candles on our 1st Birthday cake to a musical accompaniment from Theo.

Joe Rowing explained why he is moving his student blogs over to Wordpress MultiUser from Moodle.

This week, several of our regular participants were still travelling home from the  2008 Isle of Wight Conference when we recorded the show.  Dai Barnes did a great job standing in for regular host Doug Belshaw.  We spoke briefly about interactive whiteboards before Joe Dale, organiser of the Isle of Wight Conference, joined us to reflect on this year’s event.  The IoW Conference FlashMeeting mentioned by Joe was recorded and can be viewed here .

Dan Needlestone led a discussion on CPD issues and the issues surrounding ICT training for teachers.

This time around we discussed TeachMeet East Midlands 2009, Tom Barrett’s proposal to use Google Docs for online reporting to parents, the idea and importance of ‘digital permanence’, and much more besides. :-D
