ETBS staff members are joined by Google Apps Guru and Guitar Hero, Adam Contois, of Palo Alto California. We discussed Google Mail implementation strategies, little known API tools, and enjoyed some electric and accoustic guitar throughout. As always, thanks to all who participated live in the chat.

Host Doug Symington was joined by Jeff Lebow and Matt Montagne to talk about the upcoming Webcast Academy "Solstice" broadcast, which is tentatively slated for Saturday, June 20th, 2009 at a to-be-determined time. This webcast will be a good opportunity for anyone who is interested in learning more about what is involved with participating in the Webcast Academy experience. We also spent a little time on this brainstorm talking about Google Wave and Google Apps for EDU. Thanks to everyone who participated live in the chat room.

We were joined on the brainstorm by Women of the Web webcasting team member Jen Wagner, who shared her reflections on her experience on this wonderful webcasting project. While Jen will no longer be participating on WOW next year, we know that she'll be actively involved in the educational technology community in a variety of ways. On behalf of everyone in the Edtech Talk Community, thank you for all you've contributed to this community Jen!
