The TIE project participants have now spun into a new group that I have named the Distance Learning Guild. I chose this name because of it's Distance Learning nature and the associations that Guild has both historically AND in virtual worlds and gaming. It seemed appropriate.
I have set the meetings for the last Thursday in every month. So far we've had 2 official meetings that weren't associated with TIE. The first we had Rachel talk about Second Life and the possibilities for teaching and the one last week we talked about iPads, iPod Touches. We didn't have a huge turn-out but we had some people and for the middle of the summer it was great.
I didn't plan much but we just went around and discussed how we each used them for various things. It was informative and instructive and I think everyone enjoyed it.
I'm not sure what to do for next meeting but I'm sure something will come to mind!
