HHS+Technology+Committee+Meeting+MinutesAugust25,2010

**  Wednesday August 25, 2010   ** Members present:  Mike Schreiber, Kyle Tammen, Heidi Dudley, Diane Frank Kent Sauls, Jill Schrader, Kevin Keena, Barb Bolen  1) **   Meeting Dates for 2010-2011 School Year   **    All HHS Tech Committee Meetings typically fall on the last Wednesday of the month, except where noted:      2)  **   Instructional Goals for the Year   ** These are the goals that we would like to see committee members achieve this year: 1) To have every member of the technology committee work as a ** mentor **. Choose another staff member that you would like to work with, not necessarily in a mentor/mentee capacity, but in more of a sharing and gaining of knowledge capacity.     2) To have every member of the technology committee increase their own use of the ** HHS website ** (or other preferred site) to post instructional materials, and to encourage other faculty members to do the same. Our goal is to have every teacher listed on the HHS Teacher Pages by the end of the 2012 school year (if not sooner!). Updating the tech wiki is a goal that Heidi and Diane will commit to in order to communicate more effectively with the committee. 3) To have every member of the technology committee present one ** technology lesson ** or helpful hint at a faculty, departmental, or PLC meeting (and technology committee meeting) etc. during the school year. If possible these lessons will be filmed using Camtasia or Jing to create viewable lessons that can be linked to the school website (or other technology site) so that others can watch them and benefit. Ideas on what could be taught were: Google Forms, Clickers, Google Voice, how you are using tools in the classroom such as Google Docs, The calendar on the website, SmartBoards, Document Cameras, posting or issuing homework; whatever you might be able to share. Bigger topics could be shared in faculty meetings, smaller topics could be shared with smaller groups.     4) To offer small half-day ** training sessions ** (with subs paid for with professional development money) for interested staff on given topics such as Moodle, Google Apps, Wikis, etc. so we can continue to expand our technical knowledge. 5) To have 2-3 teachers attend the Technology In Education ** (TIE) conference ** in Copper Mountain this summer. Tuition to be paid by the district or HHS. Kevin mentioned that it would be nice if we could some how fund a group of people from HHS or even LPS to attend the ISTE national conference next year. Would it be something that LPS could find funds for or maybe PTO?     The Committee was asked to think about these goals “for homework” and come back with some ideas for how we will attain these goals (what you would teach, how you could support staff, etc.) at the next meeting which will be September 29.
