The Technology Committee met on Wednesday, November 14, 2007, at 2:10 P.M. in the high school media center. Those attending were: D. Thompson, J. Hughes, C. Laplander, H. Malek, P.Bearden, J. Barnaby, and J. Heinlien.

Items for discussion:

1. Elementary Printer access - The printer located in the "wire room" is not easily accessible. Since the room is always locked, this seems like an impractical location for a printer. J. Heinlein will talk to Mrs. Cherry about relocating the printer.

2. Website updates - If there is anything that needs to be put on the website, it should be sent to J. Barnaby.

3. High School/Middle School concerns - Things have improved in the business lab. However, a teacher station is still needed in the business lab. Mrs. Bearden has been providing technology support to enhance Middle School and Special Education curriculum. She will be attending a Blackboard conference soon and plans to help teachers coordinate technology and curriculum.

4. Elementary School concerns - Some educational games are blocked. J. Barnaby said he would be able to get them unblocked if we let him know about specific sites that concern us. C. Laplander asked about the typing curriculum being used by the fifth grade. Some discussion followed concerning the merits of various typing programs.

5. There are currently no new developments in our district technology plan.

Meeting adjourned at 3:12 P.M.

Respectfully submitted,

Joy Heinlein
