Summer Greedy Games

When our director said he wanted more traffic on VSTE Island I started considering what else we might do. I had four ideas I thought pretty cool almost immediately: Summer Concert Series, iPod Users Group, Open Mic Nights, and Tech Tools Talk. I am trying the iPod group first and decided to call it iApps and include Droid users. I think ten different avatars have come to two meetings. I'm not sure it will survive after the summer.

In the meantime it occurred to me that I had these two Greedy tables from the September Math Night meeting that weren't getting much use. I placed them on an empty corner of VSTE Island and every so often I call out to VSTE, ISTE, EC, and other groups to see if I can get up a game. Sometimes one or two take me up on it. I have no evidence yet that anyone plays if I'm not there, but on this particular afternoon there were eight of us off and on. I grabbed this photo of Serena, her friend Skipper (?), Neo, Xavier, PZ and myself. Amethyst and someone else were there at one point, too. It was good fellowship. Teachers who play together find more fun in working together.
