December 11 - 3rd Meeting

Due to administration restrictions we were unable to have a meeting for the month of November. Teachers were focused on grades and report cards along with parent teacher conferences. The second week of December was deemed better for meeting.

The focus of this meeting was getting the teachers comfortable with setting up and using the technology on their own. I was overseeing the third grade teachers as well as some second grade teachers. Tom was managing the fourth grade and kindergarten teachers. My goal for this meeting was to step back and provide support for the teachers. One of my teachers is becoming very comfortable with the wiimote project. She has her lesson plan ready and she's beginning to practice the entire lesson. She is also acting as a role model for the other teachers as well.

One of the issues I have seen with my group is anxiety of technology troubleshooting. Most of the teachers feel the don't know what to do if a problem occurs midway through the lesson. I instructed them to go through their setup to find the issue, or have a back up plan just in case.

The next meeting will be next Friday, December 18.
