Geography Flash Meeting – the Music

I couldn’t attend the most recent geography Flash Meeting but it served up another great slice of CPD. One outcome has been Kenny O’Donnell’s creation of a Spotify playlist for Geography – related songs while Jerry Swiatek added a Google spreadsheet to collate further ideas. Visit the Geog FM Music page to contribute.

Video-conferencing opportunity for geography teachers

Noel Jenkins — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 09:32:56 +0000

All geography teachers are welcome. More details at the wiki and the SLN forum post.
Please request access to edit the Wiki, when permission is received, add your name to the attendees by editing it. If you feel brave and want to speak about a resource, topic or issue, please add to the agenda.

We are limited to a number of 20, but have the possibility of increasing numbers; we will also record the meeting so that they can be viewed online. There is a demo facility on the FlashMeeting site. As well as allowing you to test your webcam/microphone, it lets you see what the meeting willl look like. Hovering over various different features (eg the chat, broadcast button, etc.) brings up a box telling you what that feature does. It is dead straightforward and will be well worth coming along, even if it’s as a “lurker” at first!

The agenda for tonight’s meeting is here.
