Meeting May 10 at Keeling Lab.
Laurie Celaya and Katie Collins are in attendance. Monica Schott and Irene Berantes are missing in action.
Discussed what needs to be completed by the end of school year.
Compared results of the school surveys.
Keeling: Many of the teachers wanted more educational sites for their students to go on. I made a de.lici.ous page for all the classes to use that hit on lots of reading and math sites for various grade levels as well as units of study. Teachers are all in the same boat with their slow moving computers and non-working ones. Most are frustrated with being expected to know and practice the tech skills but their computers are not capable of having it done by the students.
Cross: We are in the same boat with slow computers and a whole computer lab that cannot be connected to the server for students to save their work or access earlier projects. Hopefully, this summer the connection speed will improve. We are not slated to upgrade computers for a year or so, however.
