BSMS+Technology+Team

Hi Technology Teamers! We're going to be using this wiki as a workspace to do planning for technology in between our meetings. Please create an account and then click on the "Join this Wiki" link. I'll have to approve you once you request access to the site. Once you have access, please come back and contribute to the list below. Feel free to add to the list, delete things from the list, or reword or clarify the items on the list.

The other thing you'll want to be sure to do once you've been added to the wiki is click on the "Notify Me" tab at the top of the page and choose email notification. That way you'll get an email when someone else makes changes.

If you have not clue what a wiki is and need a little introduction, click [|here] to watch a brief video.

At each Faculty Meeting and Staff Development session, a member of the Technology Team will present a Technology Tidbit to the staff. Your presentation should be five to ten minutes. Plan to share samples from your own classroom or the web if they are available. Please send the information you present to the staff to Lauren so it can be posted on the school website. The tidbit should meet the following criteria:
 * Technology Tidbit Criteria**
 * Relevant to the classroom.
 * Easily used in different content areas.
 * Usable by all staff with the resources we have available.
 * Simple enough for all levels of technology expertise.
 * Easy enough to start using immediately.

If you have not signed up for a date yet, please do so. Everyone should sign up at least once, then we'll go back through and repeat folks if necessary. If you've already decided on a topic, please give a brief description beside your name. **
