ianniow Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Can't help thinking this is trying to emulate edugeek eduLAIT - a Local Authority Educational IT Grassroots Network
russdev Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I wouldn't say it is trying to emulate anything (knowing all 3 people behind it) when it comes to another resource which hopefully Edugeek.net can work together with. Russell
GrumbleDook Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Those 3 have been around for a while doing similar things anyway ... good to see them joining things up with others.
GrumbleDook Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Actually ... a lot of them are. Peter has presented at an early EG conference, as has Josie and Ian has been around here for a while. A lot of LA folk do lurk and contribute when they can ... but there is a bit of cynicism with some folk that they have an agenda if they do post.

Sarconia Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I'm technically from an LA and I've seen people bashing LA's and I can understand their point of view as sometimes talking to the LA can be frustrating. E.g: If you've got a Citrix network and have a problem... there are some LA's who wont have a clue what it even is, let alone support it. As with all things it's swings and roundabouts, some people are good at their jobs and some people are useless - niether are immune to bashing though. Still, I'm interested to see exactly what they will do with this... so I'll probably sign up
GrumbleDook Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Guess what? It's blocked here by the LA ...sigh Which LA? Absolute classic.
josiefraser Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 Hi all, Just dropping by to say hello & thanks for posting about eduLAIT. I'm a huge supporter/fan of EduGeek - I've been a member for a long time now but won't claim to have been noticeably alive on the forums eduLAIT is currently an expression of interest for people working for Local Authorities with a remit for education & technology, to see if there's enough interest in having a meetup & taking something forward. eduLAIT certainly isn't trying to replicate the excellent work going on over here and I'd hope that where there are overlaps we would support each other in taking a more joined up approach. Hope yr all well, Josie 1
GrumbleDook Posted July 6, 2010 Posted July 6, 2010 I love that ... a member since Sept 2005 and first post is today ... talk about lurking

Although I brushed it off as banter. Chilbs

tom_newton Posted July 7, 2010 Posted July 7, 2010 Yeah - there's tons of bloggy-hosts referenced in the site - which will be a problem as many filter users block the world of blogs, as the SNR is atrocious.
drevil Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Just another set of lovies slapping each other on the back and telling each other what a great job they are doing.
GrumbleDook Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 Lol ... A less luvvie 3 would be hard to imagine.
russdev Posted November 13, 2010 Posted November 13, 2010 (edited) Lol ... A less luvvie 3 would be hard to imagine. I would agree on that people behind it certainly not luvies. Now if had said another bunch of drunks slapping themselves on the back Russ Edited November 13, 2010 by russdev
