1. What we've been doing: a. Doug: checking in w/ CRTs; preparing DH presentation re: CRTs; working w/ Dana Len; preparing to write budget request for iPads: CRTs to be thinking re: possible iPad usage in classroom. Re: Moodle: reminder to use the login as student feature to troubleshoot. Also when creating courses, adhere to naming format (10-11 ) b. Dan: working w/ sci. faculty (Sikora, Stice-Durkin, Whitworth) to build online quizzes w/ feedback; CAPSEEDS; in dept., discussing article from //The Shallows// re: how digital universe altering thinking. c. Trish: everyone seems set up. d. Chai: visited Dan's class; met w/ RBS re: sharing student learning. e. Lara: informing people re: VPN (Virtual Private Network) and how to access school servers from home—Punalink is obsolete; working w/ various faculty, mostly Cooke Hall people, re: Moodle issues, helping set up wikis and blogs. Problem w/ Moodle forum feature, b/c students are not being auto-enrolled. (maybe meet w/ Kevin and Doug to troubleshoot). 2. Ideas for future: a. Take screenshots of Moodle pages: examine what's effective, maybe develop Keynote presentation re: how to create a better layout. b. Dan: maybe work w/ Carlyn Tani in Communications to developing common language/guidelines for sharing student products w/ public. c. Determining what's fair use/copyright. (Chai to send CRTs documents from D. Ching in re: fair use.) d. Chai: have DHs compile list of top 3 dept. needs and send to CRTs. 3. Doug: 10 minute presentation to DHs re: CRTs: who we are and our functions. Will be presenting to DHs on Thursday, "C" day. a. Transformative teaching: providing the roadmap for "how", helping scaffold learning, etc. b. Showed his working draft of movie introing CRTs: Chronicle, Research, Teach, exploring each of the three components. c. Using Quick Time Player: can screen record, save as iPod (compresses for digital device.) Will Best's students subscribe to his podcasts via iTunes. d. Facilitating conversations in subdepts.= more efficient means of assisting faculty, rather than 1:1. 4. Kodak Camera Distribution to CRTs: a.
