January+2009

Members Present: Mr. Davis, Ms. Putney, Mr. Mayo, Ms. McNeill, Ms. Wells, Ms. Boykin, Ms. Walston, Ms. Jones, Ms. Mercer and Ms. Brown. The following items were discussed: • March 5th is designated for Tech Night. There should be two presentations per grade level, ideally students should be the presenters of technology projects, and teachers should display tech. projects outside and around their classrooms. • No programs or software should be downloaded on computer without prior approval, and Ms. Johnson will be around this month to clean up laptops so keep them at school. • A federal audit will be conducted in our school in March, all equipment must be accounted for, use some of the workdays to clean out closets and recover all old equipment and turn in to Ms. Putney ASAP. • Assessment pieces are available through Brainchild, if you would like to administer an assessment please let Mr. Mayo know the target date of the assessment, the objectives covered, and how many questions you want. • On February 16th (workday), we will have a presenter showing the new smartboard software available. She will present from 10:00- 12:00 that day, all interested should attend. • Ms. Putney needs some hands-on projects to display in the media center if any class has completed any recently. • Mr. Mayo is thinking about doing a k-2 and a 3-5 segment or different versions of the morning news to involve more students, if anyone has any ideas on the best way to do this please discuss with your grade level and give ideas to your grade level's leadership rep.
