We began the meeting by discussing the homework assigned which was to give our vision for the Technology department.


 * 1. Communications between divisions better and streamline, share ideas
 * 2. Goals for requirements and teacher support.
 * 3. More specific with classes required in US (ie, research skills, report writing, etc.) to prepare for college and keep up with the growing world of technology.
 * 4. Help develop scope and sequence for each division/grade (better defined and specific outcomes)
 * 5. Looking for ways and time for ways to train students/teacher. Peer mentoring. Have a dedicated a full-time support for each division. Time to learn new technology. To have in-house MAC Authority office.

Betty Ann played a game with us to preview the admission game. We chose two cards which were face down. We collaborate answers to be prepared for the all school meeting.

We discussed the mission statement and what rung true to us and what we felt was most important within the statement.

We looked through the new brochure and kept copies.

We looked at the grid to see if all divisions use a specific software/technology that is not included and we should make sure that all divisions were in line with one another.

Instructional Material Inventory Database Technology will be added to Filemaker Pro – this is a work in progress and the Categories will be Software, Hardware, and Online Resources.

Homework 1. One phrase to be include into our profile paragraph – get this to Betty Ann on November 14, 2007

2. Think of ways we can get to our vision – what could our plan look like?

Next meeting will be November 28th
