Sept+26,+2007

Members Present: Angie Clark, Jentry Byleveld, Kevin Riebau, Linda Parry, Steve Wolf, Mike Porter, Catherine Bratton, Heidi Dudley, Diane Frank, and Kevin Keena 1)  PodNet and LPS-1    We talked about the two wireless networks at Heritage. LPS-1 is essentially the same as our wired network, NT1. LPS-1 is what is on any district owned wireless devices. Anyone accessing the LPS-1 wireless has access to district folders and printers. When anyone access the wireless through the Podnet a splash screen will appear. The district usage agreement in on this splash screen and the user must agree to the policy each time before they can connect.   2)   Completion of Grant Basically the grant is now complete. Projectors and computers are in the classrooms they were planned for. If there are still rooms without screens, etc. please inform Heidi. Any money that is left over may be used to buy another wireless cart. Other options for the money may also be considered any spending must agree with the grant as it was originally laid out. 3)  Tech Budget    Money allotment: there is some money available for tech purchases from the optional technology fee that families could contribute to. We need to think about how to best spend this money. Should we use it towards adding another wireless cart or should we look at other technologies like document cameras, “N computing?” How would the technology be distributed amongst departments?   4)   ETAC This district committee that helps decide policies for the future of technology in LPS is accepting applications for the 2007-2008 and 2008-2009 school years. The members of the committee were encouraged to look into this committee to see if they are interested in serving. 5)  Oct 18 Inservice: Web Page Design   Ken would like each teacher to have their own web page. Heidi, Angie, and Diane will be teaching 3 different classes, grouping staff by comfort/ability. Each department also needs to have information on their main department page. Department pages and teacher pages for each staff member have been set up. Teachers will go to their page and add content and other pages to their page at this training.   6)   Next Meeting:  ·  Wednesday, Nov. 28th  7)  Remaining Meeting Dates:  ·   Jan. 30th   ·   Feb. 27th   ·   Mar. 19th   ·   Apr. 30th   ·   May 14th (if needed)
