April+27,+2010

Expected agenda (8:30 - 12:00) in the Board Room:
 * Review drafts and any revisions needed (8:30):
 * Procedure for Unblocking Internet Sites
 * We revised the draft adding a time frame for short term approvals and some additional language for the long term approval process (whereby supervisors/IT staff can ask the staff person requesting the site for more clarification). This process will be brought to the school wide technology committee for consideration/approval.
 * Request for Unblocking Internet Sites (long term)
 * We made several revisions to the form itself (e.g., adding 1-2 examples of risks) and space for the Ed Tech Review to approve or decline. We suggested that the list of frequently used blocked sites be added to the new PLP school-wide wiki along with the list of recommended unblocked sites.
 * //Stephanie suggested that there be some criteria guidelines to be used when sites are being reviewed for either short term or long term unblocking.//
 * Review brand new draft of 3-year Technology Plan (9:15)
 * We made a number of suggestions for revising the draft, including how and where to incorporate the educational technology applications - current uses, projects and issues, plans for moving forward and annual review/needs assssment.
 * //Marcia will draft the changes to be shared with the school-wide committee.//
 * Review AUP - full document (10:15):
 * identify any areas that need revisions
 * Revisit our initial list of obstacles (11:00):
 * Where are we now?
 * Next steps and how?
 * Try to prioritize /amend our wish list of technology acquisitions for the next 3 years (if there is time). Otherwise you will be asked for feedback on this once we know what kind of budget we're working with for next year.
 * Reflection and critique of our ed tech committee work this year (11:40)
 * what didn't we do that we should have?
 * what could we have eliminated to use our time better?
 * any other suggestions?
