Our schedule Gathering of Geeks is schedule for June 20. Alice Barr has graciously agreed to let us work in the Flex Room of Yarmouth High School. You get there by following these wonderful directions –

The day will begin at 9:00 and end formally at 3:30.
Lunch will be on your own. There are many places in the local area where one can dine.
The focus of the day will be blogging and wikis. There will be structured instruction if desired, but mostly people will gather in the right group with the right purpose because today is the right day for that work. In short, the universe will provide.
Please bring your laptop and mostly importantly something cool you’d like to share.
Please register at edublogs.org before attending.
Please RSVP with Alice (asbarr@adelphia.net) and CC me on that email. (mnolette@mainecenter.org)
Please extend this invitation to other geeks. We are an equal opportunity lover of geeks.
I won’t be attendance because I have to make some money, but I’m looking forward to hearing how things went.

I just found you Alice on technorati,through SEEDLINGS, so I can put this in my RSS. I would love to be there, but we are still in school. However, I am registered for edublogs.org.
While on sabbatical, I joined WEBHEADS in Action, a synchronous and asynchronous group, we still meet one day a week on Sundays at 12 GMT at tappedin.org as wells as on worldbridges.net, same GMT time. Those are our synchronous times. Other than that we meet on a Yahoo group(s), some of us belong to 2-3 groups, and continue our conversations.
What do I find most beneficial? Having conversations through blogs,chats, groups and email. So, while I can’t make this f2f (face 2 face) time, I can meet in the blogosphere and continue the conversations. Here is my geek of the week, coming to you live from Robert Sharp at Blogmeister,a 6th grade science teacher. Thanks to Robert for this tip. Here is a URL for public domain photo images. I have not searched all the images for appropriateness for students, but that can be your contribution. What I viewed was fine.
