**Wednesday, April 6, 2011**
The next meeting of the Technology Committee will not be on Tuesday, April 26, 2011 because we will be reviewing the Seniors' Graduation Projects. So we will meet on Wednesday, April 27, 2011 at 6:00 pm in the high school library. See you then.

I have posted the Technology Committee Generated Goals on a separate page. Please take a look at it and consider whether there are goals that need to be addressed that we have not identified. Then read the Priority Goals from other educational technology plans and compare and contrast what we have come up with and what other districts are doing. At the next meeting, we'll be reviewing the goals and sorting them out so that we can come to some consensus as to which should be our priority goals for the AVSD tech plan. Note that the **Priority Goals ** and the **Tech Committee Generated Goals ** are highlighted in green on the page list on the left side of your screen.

Just added a new feature to the Wiki. Take a look at the left side of this screen. Check out Blog Posts. Click on that page and you'll see links to two Blogs. Dr. Nuzzo has a Blog at [|www.janicenuzzo.wordpress.com] and I also have one at [|www.paulacalabrese.wordpress.com]. We just posted some new information that you might be interested in reading. Check out the two Blogs when you get a chance! Hey, if you want your own Blog, at no cost, that can be easily arranged. Just let me know.

Paula says, " Please review the S.W.O.T.T. analysis that the AVSD Technology Committee developed at their meeting on Monday, February 28. Click on each of the pages on the left side of this screen to see what the AVSDTC concluded. After you **join the Wiki**, you will be able to **sign in** and then visit each of the S.W.O.T.T. pages. As you visit each page, just click on **edit,** write your comments and then click on **save**. This is an efficient and easy way to add your ideas about the Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats and Trends related to technology present and future and its relationship to teaching and learning at AVSD. Then, we can all read all of the ideas and be better prepared to discuss them at our next meeting on **Tuesday, March 29 from 6-8 pm in the Springdale High School Library Media Center.**
