Webcast Tech Support Team Needed!
EdTechTalk is hosting a 'Community Forum' Sunday, August 6 5pmPDT/8pmEDT/midnight GMT (global times)
It's gotten a lot of attention in the blogosphere and we expect a significant number of first time webcast participants who may be in need of tech assistance.  Anyone  who is available to provide help during the show (most probably through the text chat room) is very welcome/encouraged to join the Webcast Academy Support Team. We can discuss details of how that will function during workshop 2a.

All for now.
Thanks to everyone for a great start to start to the 1.2 term.

Good night from Bow,
Jeff
