Agenda+Preparation

Consider these items first:

 * 1) Our vision for this meeting and others
 * 2) Purpose/objective
 * 3) Grade level designation
 * 4) Facilitator(s)
 * 5) Members
 * 6) Technological activities - types and grade-level appropriatemess

Here are some of my own ideas:
1.Vision – to see improvement of technology integration in high school English classes 2.Objective – to discuss ways to help teachers integrate technology, to set some technology-related goals for teachers 3.Grade level to be addressed – 9th, possibly 11th because of 1:1 4.Facilitator – I am willing for anyone who wants to facilitate to take the job. 5.Uses of technology – focusing on Adobe products for upper grades, SMART games and activities for all grades, using technology for more than word processing and Internet


 * // Post ideas, suggestions, and revisions as needed . //**

Suggestions from C Price Activities: Take a section of some plans, and brainstorm a technology-based activity that will encompass several objectives within the theme. Instead of lecturing, create questions that can be researched to find answers (i.e. author, time period, genre). Create SMART games for vocabulary. Create blogs for students to reflect on literature.. These are just simple specifics to integrate.

pr - Grade level - let's definitely include 11th grade. Students should be utilizing their laptops more than just 1/7 of the day. Activities - Spend the bulk of our meeting time on discussing the types of training will have the most impact in the English class Set goals for our group and the English department. Begin creating a model lesson that English teachers could implement
