Suggestion was made to get at least 1 minute in each meeting to remind folks of the opportunities ITLTs can provide.
It was recommended that real examples be used rather than speaking in generalities.
Several people mentioned the need to promote the help desk to take care of tech problems. Leighanna will forward the wording that is used on a sign at PLE.
Leighanna forwarded a copy of the brochure that was produced at PLE. Karen talked about a handout that was used at FEMS called "No problem is too small."
Update: Leigh Anna created a new "TechFlyer" based on our discussion.
Update: Charleen created a new HS ITLT flyer based on our discussion.

The district has purchased 70 webs for use by teachers in the district. Contact Joyce for a password.
