Post-Mortem from Monday's training

Overall feedback is positive.  Mixed reviews on group 1. We can't necessarily do another training on the same model, so we need to decide where to go from here and how to plan future trainings.

Discussion about training the rest of the staff- cafe, maintenance staff, etc.  Mike will set up training based on info from supervisors of those people 

Discussion of setting up additional trainings on the Tuesday/Thursday after school time. Focused seminar sessions dedicated to specific topics (sites, blogger, classroom, etc)

More time needed for people in group one. Mike wanted to do that next week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday 

Launching seminar series after spring break. Every Tuesday ans Thursday. Mike will propose a list of initial topics and ask for feedback. He is looking for additional group leaders- offer them double PDPs.  

Propose that on the next 1/2 day, run three sessions in a round robin format: sites, classroom, doctopus/drive functions.  Need a 12:02 dismissal on 5/4/15. Seminar series will start the following week.  

Review of project plan and timeline.  Discussion about moving over old messages from mecnet and archiving messages.  There is a date-stamp on edline migration, so that is a priority. Discussion of migration is public resources (like the school website). Tammy to pull together a team to review and potentially redesign our website. Discussion of moving A Pub Perm documents and templates over. Also about importing email lists/distribution lists.  

Discussion of what things we need to do immediately: website, anything related to edline.  Discussion of moving over those who use the mecnet calendar.  Also the equipment/vehicle/facility calendars.  Brings up larger calendar discussion bout who will own calendars, editing rights, etc.  

Mike wants additional feedback/thoughts on action list/timeline he shared.  It's on the website/blog for edits/commenting. 

Discussion about the tablets and can we make them work better.  

Discussion of EducatorU- are they still with us? They have maxed out their training.  Can they help us with all the transferring of files that we need to do? 

Discussion of creation of developer and trainer accounts so that we can develop apps and run trainings. 

Brief discussion of open issues.
