3:10 PM - 3:40 PM = Sheri Alford and Kary Boan will be in Florida for the Promethean Summit. They have asked that we discuss two issues:

Contact Promethean Support for a supply of a dozen nibs—they are free.
Think about a suggestion for ACTIVpen replacement. Each board comes with two pens. In the pilot, some of the campuses took all extra pens and locked them up until needed—basically used as spares. But this may or may not work with how teachers want to use the board. For example, I have observed classrooms where both pens are actively being used—passing from student to student seamlessly. Regardless, we need a suggestion for pen replacement and we need their input. If we suggest campuses purchase X amount of extra pens (currently priced at $23 each), which budget do we suggest they use—411, library budget, general.

3:40 PM - 4:00 PM = Hands on Questions and Concerns (23 Things, Cataloging, etc...)

See you at our next meeting: Monday, March 31st, 1:00 PM to 4:00 PM at Valley Oaks Elementary Library
