Meeting Notes 6/9

Tech committee meeting notes
June 9, 2014

In attendance: Mike H, Barbara-Jean C, Paula C

Review of Mike's presentation at the last faculty meeting regarding dig curriculum

Plan to create a website for the program with all information, resources, etc- goal is to give people as much as possible to work with so they can find what works for them

Continue to find materials and resources and those will be included in the website- Mike will show drafts to the committee for feedback throughout the development process

Next steps: assessment? How do we evaluate students' levels of "citizenship"

Creating drivers licenses/badges/passports

Badges can be for each concept students demonstrate understanding of

There is an existing one through Mozilla project.  Who monitors students' progress? Can we connect online privileges to achievement of badges?

use curriculum map to connect each area to a subject so that that subject has primary responsibility for teaching and assessing students in that area

Use time on the 26th to work on mapping so everyone can have a voice/say in process

More research on how other schools are implementing this is needed.

Kids can use study time and x block time to work on some of the self-guided/self-paced aspects of the learning

Ideally, we strictly connect access to earning badges to make earning badges desirable. Limit access for those students who haven't.

Make a connection to the premise of an OSHA 10 card
