At my last Secondary National Strategy ICT Network Meeting Andy Trif took minutes in Word throughout the day, the following day he emailed them over to me.  After a couple of minor edits I asked Andy’s permission to share them with the other delegates at the meeting, he gave his permission but rather than just emailing them I decided to upload the file to Google Docs and allow the rest of the delegates to edit if necessary.  The published minutes can be found here.

This got me thinking, prior to my next meeting with the Shropshire ICT subject leaders I set up the agenda in a Google Doc and planned to use this to take the minutes directly during the meeting.  The venue I use for training has wireless access and I was able to invite all the delegates to be collaborators before the meeting.  During the meeting 3 delegates editing the document live and the final published version can now be found here.

I plan to continue using Google Docs for all future minute/note taking at CPD events I offer from our training venue.
