Creating+the+agenda+3

The agenda should include previewing the cscope links for each lesson and deciding which ones will be the most effective. We should also include brainstorming with the technology specialist as to which graphic organizers we can team-teach with her in the computer lab, so that students can consolidate the important points in each chapter into a document that will help them to recall information, to make relevant connections, and to understand /elaborate upon concepts. We also need to address setting up teacher training sessions on powerpoint, Comic Life, Excel, echalk, gradespeed, HeartBeeps, Study Island, etc. so that we will be able to guide the students when they are working on their projects in the classroom, as well as personally becoming more proficient with assessment documentation.
