Discussion

On 9/9/11 I met with Ed Crane, Head of IT to discuss a colloborative efffort with him and my class. Some info I found out!
 * Ipads do go through our wireless network as a generic user and all filters do work.
 * There is a software budget for them-Kelly Barnes handles that

9/12~ Thanks for setting this up, Robin. Way cool. Some questions that popped into my head: ~Traci
 * How many iPads are on the cart? I'm hoping it's enough for an entire class.
 * Is there significant $ for apps? Thinking how specific apps can be, teachers will be wanting certain ones that will be tailored to their curriculum, unit, skill, etc. Will it simply be first come, first served for requesting software/apps?
 * I think we also need enough headphones for all of them.

9/14 Traci did you see the video explaining wiki's on the home page? Just wondering if it appeared?

Robin

9/14- Robin-> Yes, it was there! Totally perfect explanation of wiki basics! ~Traci
 * FYI to all- it is helpful to check the "monitor" setting under the "notify me" tab at the top dashboard. That way, we all know when someone posts on the discussion board.
 * I was surprised that Kelly Barnes said the iPad cart was ready to be checked out. I thought it may be proactive to have directions/rules for students in place before teachers started signing them out. Maybe this has been done and I'm just out of the loop?
 * I was also asked to pass along that there aren't enough computers available in the computer lab next to the library for classes of more than 25 (I think that's what it was).

I think we're the only one's using this Wiki. Please keep me in the loop, as I'm not able to attend any meetings. But I want one of those cameras!
