Proposed PD Schedule November 14 (A.M.)

9:00 – 10:00 Session 1 10:00 – 10:30 Pot luck coffee break 10:30 – 11:30 Session 2

Staff would have the choice of remaining in the same session for both blocks, or they could choose two different sessions. All staff will have the opportunity to bring food for the pot luck coffee break, but it is not mandatory. We need to look into whether we can get coffee from Starbucks. Richard volunteered to come in early and make coffee if we can’t.

Bonnie will contact Restorative Justice with the CBE to see if they will come in. Sherri pointed out that there are also resources online on the CBE website.

Diane will facilitate this work session for anyone wanting to work on setting up and adding content to D2L shells. This will not be an information session, but will be aimed at teachers currently using D2L.

Steve suggested we ask some teachers currently making good use of Smart Boards to work with those who want to learn more. Claudine Dessens, Chris McMechan, and Kristin Johnson were three suggestions.
 * 1) **//Smart Board //**

This session would help teachers organize files and folders, manage and save emails, and discover the most efficient work flow when transferring files from work to home and back. We are looking for someone to run this session. Cam’s name was brought forward, but since it is a PD day, he may not be in the building.
 * 1) **//Outlook and file maintenance //**

Shari and Lori will work with this group, demonstrating how each of these could be used in the classroom and helping teachers to set them up.
 * 1) **//Edmodo, Wikis, and Blogging //**

I hope I haven’t missed anything. Diane
