ISB 21 Team Meeting Agenda Timekeeper: Ida || Recorder: Chrissy || Purpose: Understanding = U Informing = I Recommending = R Deciding = D || Participants: Weird that Rob's not here - we haven't heard from him - probably has no internet access!! Ida: It's lovely having Mischelle here - bookie, techie & friendly Mischelle: Better now there's wireless at home; Have to ask a lot of questions to ask, understanding how things are done - in investigation mode right now, organising ourselves for the re-design Jeff: In our new office, more centralised, far away from the HS though, a bit disconnected Miguel: Same, same - the teachers were more prepared, the roll-out is busy but it's good. The calendar sharing has made a difference. Being in the office with Jeff is great - not so isolated, more visible Tara: Off and running, Excited about our 6 Kindles each - getting our web presence - took all the library staff for dinner at River Tree House - working on us all being the Library division, not three separate divisions. We are re-united! Chrissy: New room: Lots of tech issues with the renovations: 19 new teachers with varying skills: It's crazy || Round Robin Touching Base || All/15 mins || Where are we with this? We need to continue the embedding of the TaIL Standards & Benchmarks in actual unit of studies ||  || All/5 mins || Personal tech--are we willing to revisit this as a whole-school option? Personal Tech will continue in ES (Mon/Wed 2:15 - 3:00pm) The time still doesn't suit for MS & HS with teachers involved in flext-time/clubs/ then sports || Discussion || Tara/15 mins || Are we ready to meet less and collaborate more? We've been an incredibly progressive team over the last 4 years. Our main focus has been TaIL - do we still have a purpose? Mischelle's proposal: isb.ac.th - can we do anything with this? Can we tie our websites together somehow?
 * Date: Thursday, August 25, 2011 || Starting/ Ending Time:7:30 – 8:30 || Place: EdTech ||
 * Facilitator: Tara

 * **Warm-up** || I || Welcome back! How are we all settling in?
 * **Curriculum** || D || S & B's
 * **Teacher Needs** ||  || How are we meeting teacher needs at each level?
 * **Looking Ahead** ||  || What do we see as the role of ISB21 this year?

Possible meeting with BUAT? It doesn't make sense how we have all this stuff and it's all over the place yet - nothing links from the isb.ac.th "page" (the reasoning is isb.ac.th is the marketing site - NOT for existing parents/teachers etc

So, Is our purpose the "communication connection" piece - Have this conversation with Chad on Tuesday? - Our purpose for ISB21 - what do need to have in place before we approach BUAT - HS students were unable to state where they go to get information (ie: If the Library announces an author visit, new books etc - where would you get that?) HS Students were unable to say anything other than PantherNET. - Focus on what we are doing is up-to-date, things are connected, communication is streamed for what we have control over - where do we go??
