 * L&L Agenda:**


 * Many teachers feel overwhelmed with the amount of things they have to do in a day. How do you think technology or web 2.0 tools could help you reduce this stress? What or how would you like to see change in order to make your professional work not so hectic and scattered?

Please suggest other questions

More suggestions:
 * 1) If someone were to observe a videotape of your class, how would that person know you are teaching in 2010 rather than in some prior year?
 * 2) Do you feel as though you know what new technologies are available? If yes, how do you learn? If no, how can we best provide such information?
 * 3) Once you hear about a new technology, how do you prefer to learn more about it?

Follow up with assessment
 * 1) Is the //Lunch and Learn// format a convenient way for you to learn about new technology tools? Please explain why or why not.
 * 2) Are you interested in using Google Aps in your classroom?
 * 3) Would you like more assistance with Google Aps? If so, how can we best assist you?
 * 4) What tools, services or opportunities can Gilmour provide to facilitate effective use of technology in your classroom?

How should we involve IT staff (Neal, Kevin, and Nina)? How should we do assessment?
