Together with educator friends, I've been using Flashmeeting regularly on Sunday evenings to meet virtually face-to-face and discuss educational technologies in our own contexts, in our own homes.
Our group is called OzNZ Educators because of an Aussie/Kiwi focus, but includes UK and US visitors. It's a great tool - easy to use and archived each week.
Everyone is welcome to join us (currently meeting at 6pm - 7:30pm AEDT) either directly via the Twitter link sent out before the meeting, or by joining the wiki to add meeting topics and contact details
