1st+Agenda

Here are some thoughts as we try to create the first agenda.

First, the community members are: Gathern Jones Matt Inge Rod Moore Mona Jones

Grade level: 7th

Let's look at trying to incorporate the following: Purpose Objective Grade level Facilitator's name Community members Activities

Here are my initial ideas:

The **purpose** of the agenda is to establish an interactive online community that will focus on improving technology use and integration at Clark M.S.

The **objective** of the agenda is to have both teachers and students using technology in the classroom on a regular and continuous basis.

We should change the grade level from 7th grade to middle school (to include all the grades at middle school).

Okay. Change level to middle school (6 - 8). I suggest the first activity of the group is to create a vision statement. I have a hard time with this one because we have already talked about the objective of this agenda. I guess I need to research objective versus vision statement. I would imagine it would be something along the lines of a vision statement is permanent focus whereas objective is of a temporary nature.

Sounds good but it will take a while to create a vision statement. So are we going to create the agenda or is this the agenda?

Since no one has disagreed with the purpose and objective, I will stay with those.
