__**Request for Presenters:**__ It's time to show us your stuff! Are you using a cool Web 2.0 tool you'd like to share? (VoiceThread, YouTube, Twitter, Flickr, etc.) Are you blogging, podcasting or Skyping with students? Have your teachers adopted Web 2.0 tools for teaching or for their own productivity? How is Web 2.0 affecting the way you communicate with parents & other constituents? If you would like to share a 10-15 minute presentation with the whole group, please let us know ASAP.

We so rarely get together for face-to-face BAISNet interaction, so we're saving the last hour of the meeting to get together into smaller groups for informal conversation & sharing. Have a conversation topic you'd like to (informally) facilitate? Please let us know ASAP! Possible breakout conversation topics might include grade-specific issues, parent education about Web 2.0, people looking to form collaborative projects, etc.
