Doug Clow - Doug Clow's Imaginatively-Titled Work-Related Blog: TEL Away Day: second session

Keren's picture

The meeting accounting is running at nearly £2600 as we return from coffee.

Instant feedback from the small groups captured by Patrick’s little video tool as talking heads over coffee. (May be available later online?) There’s a general feeling of skepticism bordering on cynicism about some of them but some enthusiasm. Boundaries between the personal and the professional/work worlds - some people mix them seamlessly (apparently) but some people experience a lack of separation between work and other life as very problematic already.

Patrick is going to suggest things we should do:

  • Let’s give Twitter a try. No compulsion but that’s where people will gather. Follow PlantOUTEL if it’s not already following you (so we can see all the TEL people’s Twitter accounts).
  • Wikis - I did a (private) wiki for last year’s conference - but we can use WetPaint, pbWiki, etc, and there is an IET wiki again. Should use for monthly and quarterly reports.
  • Blogs - encourage people to try - let Juliet/Will know and they’ll put it in to the aggregator.
  • KMi tools - do play with them.  Can we occupy Cohere (Compendium?) to support IET’s ideas?
  • Ning - have a look at the Ning Anesa and Rebecca have set up.
