Proposed+Meeting+Agenda

Creating our meeting agendas will be a team effort. Below you will find a format for the first meeting agenda, but the items in each category should come from all members of the learning community. Brainstorm ideas for our first meeting and list them below. Please check back often to see what other members have posted. Each member's opinion is valued and respected. Keep in mind as you work through the agenda that our overall goal is to improve technology use at SFE and to encourage teachers to integrate technology into their classroom.

=Purpose =
 * 1) To share our successes and our failures Instead of failures, what about attempts? I like attempts, because even when things don't go as planned we learn from that, so it's not a failure. I like that as well.
 * 2) To support each other

=Objective =  =Grade Level =
 * 1) To improve technology use at SFE
 * 2) To encourage technology integration in the classroom
 * 3) To make better use of the computers in our classrooms. (This may be the same as #2)  
 * 4) To learn about any new software and how to use it.
 * 5) How to use the computer with math investigations. (I'm not sure if this should be on this agenda or a topic for another time.)
 * 6) To plan for future technology purchases to enhance what the campus already has, encourage more technology use, and accomplish specific instructional goals.

=<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Activities = <span style="color: #ff00ff; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Are all of the objectives supposed to be met within the activities of this meeting or are they ongoing ones? I see them as ongoing, with the activities from each meeting working towards meeting those objectives. 4. Develop a list of trainings needed to support teachers, and schedule those. In addition to traditional workshops, these trainings could include "open lab" times where teachers could come to work on projects and have the campus IT and district IT Specialist there to answer questions and make suggestions if that would be helpful to teachers. 5. Plan some specific technology-integrated lessons for each grade level and make sure support is in place for those lessons. I think is would be very helpful. I feel some teachers understand the technology but are not sure how to best integrate it into the curriculum. I agree. If we all try the same lesson, we can support each other.
 * 1) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Determine formal rules and guidelines for our online learning community.
 * 2) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Develop a shared vision in regards to technology integration at SFE. Critical! This should be our first order of business.
 * 3) <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Discuss specific examples of why technology is not being integrated to the fullest in the classroom. Would it be appropriate at this time to also brainstorm ideas of how this can be improved? I think so.
