December+18


 * Evaluation Update**
 * ETaP Survey-looking at specifics of technology (pinpoints areas in the curriculum)
 * LoTi-more general, overall view.
 * Would stimulate peer to peer conversations about how they would move along the levels of LoTi/ETaP
 * We're pulling pieces of the various things to make our own tool.
 * Four step--self-reflection, planning a lesson (what does a lesson look like where you are at and where you want to go), deliver a lesson with a peer, reflecting with the peer as a follow up
 * Group will work with Jim Beeler and will develop/follow this process
 * **Small** part of this will be used as part of the historical record needed for evaluation
 * Evaluation is being merged with staff development. Determine where they are and continue to work on where they need to go.
 * Take the evaluation out of terminology


 * Filters & Internet Access**
 * Requirement of Computrace needs Filter 1
 * Filter 1 helps filter outside the district
 * Filter 1 was locking up
 * Only student laptops are being filtered through Filter 1
 * This past weekend students were able to bypass the filter
 * Filter 1 crashed
 * Filter 1 overnighted a new box, came in Tuesday morning
 * Hopefully, Filter 1 box should be working today (Tuesday)
 * New filter (internal) is much better
 * looks for the packets of the sites not the actual website
 * Computrace is working with district using the new filter
 * Are we still watching what websites they are going to?
 * Need to re look at the websites they are hitting in January
 * Susan will get names of students out to buildings soon
 * Each building will get monitors that will scroll through all student machines


 * Online Discussions (Appropriateness/When to step in)**
 * Teachers need to model the behavior they want their students to exhibit
