On WebEx
Present: Brian Lewis (facilitator), Steve Anderson, Jacque Arnold, Bob Bledsoe, Laura Funke, Stephanie Laurey, Laurie Lykken, Brandy Opse-Weber, Sue Taylor
Absent: Dianne Gregory
1. Brian reminded everyone about the wiki: that it's located at http://digitalwritingtc.pbworks.com, that all TC members have been invited to edit it as they wish, and that everyone should contribute to the "technology table."
2. Brandy presented her voice recognition software, called Dragon. It costs about $500; the basic version is $100. It may be used in the classroom for several reasons: for D2L, to give students feedback on their writing, and for use of Outlook.3. Bob began a presentation on mashups, but he had video problems and was not able to finish his presentation. Brian presented in his place--he talked about using Diigo as a research tool for students (www.diigo.com). It is an online bookmarking and research site that provides RSS feeds daily to his e-mail on specific subjects. Diigo also tags website so that you can do searching in your online library by subject.
4. Next meeting will be IN WEBEX, FRIDAY, MARCH 4, FROM 4-5 PM. BRIAN WILL SEND EVERYONE THE WEBX MEETING LINK AT LEAST 24 HOURS BEFORE THE ONLINE MEETING. Bob (and Dianne--added later) will share digital writing/new media techniques and explain why they would work well for the English classroom. 5. HOMEWORK FOR EVERYONE BEFORE NEXT MEETING:--Find at least ONE new media teaching technique that you think might be worth sharing with the group if you have not yet done so.--Hold individual meeting #1 with Brian if you have not yet done so.--Work on individual goal/objectives (these need to be handed in to me by 2/28).--Reflection paper #1 is due 2/28--work on it.
Meeting ended at about 6:07 pm. A recording of the meeting was done and is on the MnSCU WebEx site.
