Reminder - This is an online collaborative community, so please share any information that you would like to cover at our meeting. Keep in mind that the goal of this wiki is to incorporate more technology into our classrooms. Remember to keep the following things in mind when providing ideas for our agenda.

Purpose of the meeting - To brainstorm ideas to incorporate more technology in our subject areas.

Objective of Meeting -What are some ways that we can achieve higher technology practices in our classrooms? Grade Level(s) discussed- 6th and 7th (Wiki Members) Community Members involved - How can we (Wiki Members) get everyone on campus involved? e4 discussion boards and poll survey's through e4 Blackboard Activities - What are some activities that we could do to enhance technology based needs in our classrooms? For example, Student Poll Survey -We are incorporating technology for the students benefit, so a poll would be a great idea. Set up the poll and set a timeline for the poll to open and close. They could possibly have a school week to respond.

Use appropriate staff development times to integrate eClass Chalkboards - Discuss at a staff meeting, model the use of a Chalkboard and show the easy use of this technological tool. Also set up a time, during conference periods, before or after school to have the teachers come in to the computer lab and practice using this tool. This would approximately take 15-20 minutes for them to practice using the Chalkboards on their own.

Quizdom is a great tool to use capture their attention and really get them engaged. - Great idea Paula! We can have opportunities for the staff to become more confident with the use of these great tools in the classroom. The training wouldn't take very long and the majority of our students already know how to use the remotes, so the use would be much more easier for the teachers to implement.

What kind of timeline are could we use for introducing these possible technology based learning opportunities? One training per 9 weeks? One training every 3 week report? What would be ideal, so that we do not overwhelm the staff, yet are able to use this technology this school year?
