Looking forward to coming to meeting tomorrow. I will be right on meeting because i have to kick off meeting at 9.

Just a note on user images or avatars. If you click on Account settings in the upper right and then on Your site picture at the top, you can scroll down to a place to upload your own avatar or user image, personal icon, whatever...

Just use the Browse button to locate on your computer an image you want to use to represent you visually on the site. You can also visit AvatarsR.Us to download an icon of your choice to your computer which can then be uploaded to this site.  This is a free service with copyright-free images for you to choose from.

Icons or avatars add to the fun of the site, so pick an image and dress up your posts! (Oh, yeah, that's me with the baton over there...)

Good Morning,
I am back from a week at the Myrtle Beach. I have included the URL for the conference I am attending next week - Sunday through Tuesday. Perhaps some of the speakers names will mean something to some of you. Three of us are going to conference and I hope to be able to share information with you once I get back on Thursday. I have family in Memphis so I will not be back in the office until Thursday and I am flying out in a couple of days.

Now that we kinda have a quorum, could you check out doug johnson's webpage http://www.doug-johnson.com/presentations/  for his topics and post your impressions? Also, can anyone suggest another keynoter in case we cannot get Doug Johnson's price down? Should we try for one of the specakers that we had last year to do keynote -- Will DeLamater or Dan Ream? I know everyone loves Kelly Hammond, but she is expensive also. Please share your thoughts and ideas.

I finally logged on and also can not weigh it on Doug as I have not heard him personally, though I have heard from others that he is supposed to be excellent.

I hope this gets easier. The web site was not cooperating getting me set up.

 I can't comment on these two speakers. I've heard neither.

I have not heard Doug Johnson speak, so I can't really comment on him. What are we looking for in a keynote speaker? Just technology, technology in the classroom, etc?

Maybe it would be worth getting some ideas from Kneyoke after she attends her conference. I bet our new folks would have some ideas...Jame Britto, etc... Maybe we should set a meeting date in August or early September - thoughts anyone?

Note that one of the great features of TeacherPlaces is that you can set an access level for virtually everything that you write.  Below each text box you will see a drop-down menu which allows you to decide who can access or "see" what you've written.  You can select "Private" for those items that you want to capture at TeacherPlaces but you want to keep to yourself.  If you choose "Private," only you can see the item, whether it is your telephone number, email address, or your list of personal likes and dislikes.

On the other hand, if you select "Public," then any visitor to TeacherPlaces will be able to view what you wrote.  When visitors come to the home page, for example, and click on "see what others are syaing right now," your post to your blog will be visible to them if it is "Public."

Finally, you can allow access to your information or posts to only those logged-in members of TeacherPlaces, or to members of a community that you belong to.

By coding different information differently, you can control at a very "granular" level who has access.  You may want everyone to see some things you write, and you may want to keep others private until you are ready to share.  The option is all yours!

Joining a community at TeacherPlaces is easy.  Communities allow groups of members who share an interest to interact with one another, share documents, view each others’ resources, and build knowledge collaboratively.

To join an existing community once you have registered at TeacherPlaces, simply search the topics that people are writing about by typing a tag or keyword into the search box in the lower right corner of the window.  That search will produce a list of resources and users interested in that topic.

If you don’t see what you are looking for, go back and click on the “Random tags” link just below the search box.  That will produce the “tag cloud” or list of topics that people on the site are interested in.  If you see what you are looking for, click on the tag and you will be given a list of the people and resources on the site that have listed that tag.

Under the heading “Matching users” toward the bottom of the list, you will see any communities that have been formed on that topic.  A click on the link will take you to the community main page.  In the box to the right, below the community icon, you will see a link “Click here to join this community.”  Click the link and you are in!  It’s that easy.
