Ninth issue, Volume Six	TLT Group TGIF 3.5.2013
From TLT Group World Headquarters Late breaking news on the March 15th session with "the app guys."	Join a collective discussion with Amy Woodgate on what we have learned in the #EDCMOOC today at 2:00 PM ET register here,  The "app guys," Stephen Kaufman [and a new 3rd partner because Tim has a conflict] Aaron Carpenter from Ashland University, are back by popular demand (March 15th). Here's how popular the demand is, there are already 250+ people registered. Unfortunately we just learned we will probably not be able to expand our Adobe Room capacity (100 logins) for this event we will give TLT Group members priority.                     If your institution has an institutional subscription, everyone affiliated is eligible for a one-year free individual membership, but you must activate that membership online individually. As you probably know, FridayLive! is offered free to anyone who registers in advance, and the digital recordings of the sessions are routinely made available shortly after the events for free, but only to  members of the TLT Group. Since there is so little time before March 15, we urge that you join as a member right away.  If you can't do that, or if you prefer to initiate or renew your institution's annual subscription, we will treat registrants for FridayLive! March 15 as members if you send an email to sallygilbert@tltgroup.org RIGHT AWAY pledging  your intention to have your institution subscribe. If more than 100 members want to login, we'll make sure that any members who are excluded will have access to the digital archive within a few days.   Non-members will have to wait for the next Ap Guys session unless we create some other alternative.  As usual, we will make available at no fee fully public copies of the chat text transcript and other info from the session via our blog at tlt.gs/blog and links to URLs via our DIIGO Repository at tlt.gs/diigo..

For the last 15 minutes, participants will be invited to discuss emerging plans for the TLT Group to offer a MOOC-ish experience based on John Sener's recent book "Seven Futures of American Education:  Improving Teaching and Learningin a Screen Captured World." Up-coming  FridayLive! schedule: March 15  There's an App for That 3.0 March 22  Building Connections through Social Collaboration April 5 Worst Case Online Education, John Sener Returns
