Purpose Objective Grade Levels Facilitator's Name Community Members Activity Suggestions       =Agenda = = = 
 * Create a shared vision
 * Assess available technology, how it is currently used, and how it can be used more effectively
 * Determine professional development options
 * Along with an inventory of available technology, can we work to create a tracking system to monitor the progress of technology work orders? This will help speed the process of getting hardware back into the classrooms where students can take advantage of the technology we have available. (LL)
 *    We need to discuss how we can present our findings to the administration in order to achieve the goals of our vision. (KSP)
 * I would like to address a process to accomplish improved internet accessibility, both for the students and the teachers. Currently, our district's internet filters block many valuable academic internet resources. NK
