FEBRUARY 5, 2010 MINUTES READING ACROSS THE CURRICULUM ** Members Present: ** Brad Clark, Tony Ciotoli, Bob Allison, John Waters, Kristine Autenreith, and Jeanne Shaffer. Kristine and Jeanne informed the group of the November meeting Barb had with them and the issues discussed. It was acknowledged that concerns and issues can be brought to Barb and that she is eager to try and help. All of those present still want to become more familiar with Wiki. The possibility of additional trainings was presented and Kristine believed that these classes helped. The fact that it is open access to anyone was also discussed. ** Implementation of Ideas and Goals: ** Regarding Wiki it was agreed that members would put in new topics for various issues so that the discussions do not become voluminous. We also agreed to only post on the home discussion page. We will now post action plans as a group after all input is received. Tony has agreed to mentor us on WIKI and will set up our Widgets page. Reminder… be careful regarding how we post materials so we do not violate copyrights. ** For April Meeting: ** All members should spend time on WIKI and bring concerns and questions. We will have more information regarding installation of webcams. Websites that we find should be entered onto Wiki page with brief description. Bob passed out materials regarding “Strategies for Helping At-Risk Students”. Jeanne passed out information on Before, During, and After activities and more research on Reading Across the Curriculum. We will get these materials to those who were absent. Finally, there was a brief discussion on how to proceed for next year. Next meeting is April 23rd.
