Notes+on+Meetings

====**20 January 2011 meeting via Skype** - We have some kinks to work out on getting Skype to work for video conferencing. Cheryl, Susan, Rob, Anne and Pat were all on Skype, but we could not get all five of together. We had Cheryl, Susan, Rob and Anne on one call. Then, Pat, Cheryl and Susan on another call. As Cheryl pointed out we are Skype novices.====

Some issues brought up during the meeting:


 * Rob found out it cost money to be able to add videos to his wordpress page. He is working on a student gallery.
 * Susan is struggling to get information from the Swansea staff to add to the school's web page.
 * I have asked my principal to request DOTS to give me access to my school computer from home, so I can begin copying and pasting from the present school site to the new wordpress site.


 * Plan of Action** for our meeting on the 16th of February:


 * Susan will contact Matthew to find out how much time we will have available during the ILT Workshop to meet with our PLC group.
 * Anne will email our group requesting everyone put a link on this wiki to the sites they have been working on.
 * We will all bring our laptops to the workshop, so we can work out the kinks using Skype for meetings.

Notes on the 3 November 2010 meeting at Slavens, K-8
We shared a few web sites, Archuletta's and some Word Press sites, I found. Matthew came and shared his [|wiki] On the wiki, there is a comparison of wikispaces and word press. We can begin setting up our school web site on either platform and transfer it when DPS comes out with their templates. Matthew also shared the issues holding up the release of the templates.

Thanks, Cheryl for sending out the email on how to register for the PDU. I received an email today from Dave.

Notes on the 30 November 2010 meeting at Swansea Elementary
We coordinated for our Skype meeting in December 16th at 5:15. We all signed up on Skype and practiced with each other. We learned you have to install the beta version of Skype if you want to use the video function with a Mac.

Ann and I were the only ones who showed up on Skype! We shared what we had done so far on our school website. (I passed out half sheets of paper to all the staff in my school so they could write a little autobiography for the website. I'll write that page over the break.)
 * Notes from Skype meeting: December 16, 2010 5:15 pm**

I noticed my page on our PLC wiki is gone. All my entries are gone too. I've looked and looked. I'm going to try to recreate my page over the break. **Susan**
