Scott Merrick's TED Movie Sessions

On Monday nights immediately following the VSTE meeting ScottMerrick Oh has a viewing of a TED video at his hangout on Lighthouse Learning Island. It's more fun than you would think! We avies sit around on cushions, read the brief descriptions of the four movies available, vote for the one we most want to see and then view together. Back chat is welcome! It's so much fun. Scott typicially counts down so we can all start our video at the same time and be relatively in sync. It never works! He and I are usually in sync with the majority of others close behind and at least one person ends up woefully behind or without ever getting video to work. Back chat consists of us all typing remarks about what we are currently hearing and seeing, often tongue in cheek comments about serious subjects. These people are all smart and educated (not me though) and I love hearing the banter! It's a great way to calm down after leading the VSTE meeting, which tends to be stressful for me. (It's a bit like throwing a shower in your home - constant worry about whether everyone is having a good time and not sorry they came!)
