- Introductions
- Duties
of ITLTs -- Olivia
- Olivia
emphasized several of the key principles of the ITLT project
- all
ITLTs can apply for 3hrs/week to be paid by stipend. This time is
an average so hours not used one week can be used in future weeks.
- Hours
can be used for helping others or for increasing personal technology
skills.
- It
is very important to file hours monthly using MyLearningPlan.com.
If there are questions, the resident expert is Karen Norris.
- ITLTs
can use released time for related duties provided the need can be
justified to Olivia and the building principal prior to being used.
- Last
year, teachers were paid stipends for training. This year that
money is still available with prior approval from Olivia. However,
because of current staffing at the HS, HS teachers will be given
priority for these funds.
- Meeting
schedules for year; changes for 2003-2004 -- Pat
- There
will be 6 meetings this school year with the next meeting set

monthly report.
