David and John were guestless. We talked about David’s experience of Learning Rounds, thought a little about PLN’s, CPD and Twitter – we are not sure we would recommend Twitter to other teachers! We also discussed ‘online community’ – Are we overusing the power of the word ‘community’? Finally, we announced Edutalk Conversations; real time, in the flesh Edutalk-ing.

David and I talk about the strike. We are joined by Iain Hallahan, who discussed the recent TeachMeet Highlands and TeachMeets in general. The recording ends abruptly, as Nicecast starts fuzzing the audio after an hour if you don’t pay for it (I will soon!).

Some twitterference by headiebob, channeling Jeremy Clarkson, kept us laughing.
