​ October SIP

Welcome to our collaborative planning space for the October SIP day (10/19). The format for the day will be similar to our previous SIP day, but we will be running 2 sessions for teachers to attend. This will allow for more time in each session. In order to keep the session sizes smaller, we will run each session in 2 rooms.

Session I: 1:45-2:35 Session II: 2:40-3:30

Below are the proposed session titles. Please use this space to add any questions that you would like addressed in the sessions. Please remember that we have only 50 minutes with each group.

 * __Classroom Technology and You (Proposed presenters: Bruce Spielbauer and Stacy Dunn)__**
 * How do I utilize the classroom computer to develop and present powerpoint presentations?

__**Professional Learning Network (Proposed presenters: Bob Abrams and Joe Kuhn)**__ What about the CPS program? ** <-- What is the CPS program? Please describe! ** Can we set up wiki spaces for teachers to share ideas and lessons? Can teachers have web pages that will not be eliminated each year by tech department so we have to recreate hours worth of work? Can there be a department webpage for each school so we can collaborate between the district? I would love to have a webpage that is maintained from year to year, rather than being deleted; is it possible for me to have access to the page, to post quarterly calendars, examples of projects, relevant links, etc?
 * Am I able to have a "live" and ongoing dialog with other staff members in the building?
