NPR and our APRIL meetup:
Big thanks to guru media maker at National Public Radio - Andy Carvin - for hosting us.

DC Media Makers and you:
When it comes to making media, DC Media Makers' preferred MO is "have fun, learn, create, share, repeat."

So are you passionately interested in all things digital education i.e. online video, podcasts, mobile blogging, screencasting, and more?

If so - don't walk but RUN to join in.

No matter what your level of experience with digital tech or media, there's a place for you here. Share a favorite online video clip from your personal or professional portfolio or a new editing software or other production tips or a new project idea.

Bottom line:
DC Media Makers is the 'big tent' for peer learning and promoting digital literacy in DC.

Presenters for our next meetup (...awesome):

1.) ...The flu kept him away last month but he's back in full form for April!

Bruce Geisert, IT consultant, former board member of Arlington Community Television (now called Arlington Independent Media), and expert in online video production for nonprofits. Hear more from Bruce on open education content publishing (Blackboard, Moodle, Wiki's);

2.) Jeff Carpenter and Peggy Mandanas, two members of the team that worked on the GEICO caveman flash site and had some interesting experiences doing so (remember the cool cave men?): www.cavemanscrib.com/Two.html

They found the project quite useful in learning about user interaction and wanted to share with us. Welcome Jeff and Peggy!

3.) A few schedules are being confirmed but stay tuned for our third speaker (...or 'conversation starter!).

Remember:

Will there be snacks?
