There's an agenda online at http://edtechtalk.com/node/3080 and a pre-meeting discussion at http://edtechtalk.com//node/3095 Agenda highlights include * Who's running this place, anyway? * Who is going to help newcomers, and how? * How does Edtechtalk fit into the grand scheme of things? * What's the long-term plan to pay the bills? * How can we satisfy the tremendous demand for EdTechTalk T-Shirts * What are the biggest tech challenges, and who's going to fix them? And why isn't it done yet? * What can ETT do to support the health of our planet? We'd love to hear from lurkers, those interested in hosting their own shows someday, and anyone who's got ideas to share.
