June 21, 2010 Meeting: Present-Marsha F, Jane G, Laura G, Rita M, Gregg M, Pat D. Also Chris Bretz and Connie Nicholson. Topic was the new K-6 Literacy program and LMS role. Summary of outcomes: 1. Our roles will be evolving in support of the district new literacy program. 2. The Media/tech SOARC process will start this fall and this indepth study of current and future media curriculum needs is appropriate and timely. 3. Consistency across the buildings in the media program is desirable. 4. The responsibility of delivering different components of the media curriculum will be clearly defined: teacher, lms. 5. Keyboarding was discussed and it will be expected that the curriculum will be delivered by Nov. 5, 2010. 6. Ongoing communication with principals and media needs to happen.

Each media specialist shared the types of program/activities that they provide. Lack of duplication was noted. Chris presented a timeline for staff development. Rita graciously volunteered to be on the literacy planning group representing media. Keyboarding was discussed.

Next steps: Meeting on 7/1, 8:15 @ EDC Create media/tech- reading literacy skills comparison Meeting on 7/8 was also scheduled.

Nov. 21, 2010 Notes of previous Oct and Nov meetings

So sorry I haven't kept up. Please fill in any info that you feel is important "for the record!" -the elementary literacy program is being integrated into the k-6 curriculum. The extreme changes that we may have anticipated in the media programs because of the new curriculum have not really materialized. Jane and Melanie's situations are different. -Tina introduced a plan to change/unify students accounts. Feedback is needed to determine the best approach for the different grades. -Filtering: the all or nothing filtering approach used last year didn't work. Tina told us that she needs to plan to ask for more money in the budget if we are to get a more flexible (and more expensive) filter. **-Atomic Learning- user: email pw: roseville** -the mta/imt group is not meeting this year. Because of that, they are looking to us for a basic "ISD 623 cataloging standards" document that would help define the tags that need to be addressed when marc records are imported. This should be simple, yet uniform. Pat suggested that a small committee put this together. There is budget to cover this. -as of 11/20/10 Jill Peters at FAHS will handle materials through Destiny inter-library loan. Carol Holm still sends out EDC materials. -we discussed and approved the SOARC program summary that was then presented at the SOARC meeting on 11/17/10. Our next meeting is on Dec 9 at RAHS.
