 * Upcoming Agenda Development for the BBA Tech Committee:**

Hi Folks, It's been a bit since we met. Here are some updates below:

1. AUP: A new version of the AUP has been drafted up and is available for you to read and comment on online. Students are currently debating this new version as well.

2. PBS released a series called 'Growing Up Online' that is worth a look. It's refreshing to see some objective reporting on the issue. It takes about 50 minutes or so to watch and it is available online.

Here's the direct link:

Here's the main web site for the show:

We've had some fantastic discussions on the program here in the lab over the last week.

3. The laptop proposal has gone to the Business Office with financial demographics for the area (from the school lunch statistics supplied by the local Supervisory Union). I have not heard much on this as of late.

It appears that tech tips per se may not fit into the Faculty meetings at this point. There is some discussion brewing that the AUP may be on the dock for the March in-service. I'll let you know what comes of that buzz. We could offer an after school training again with students helping out. A question and answer session, where people can drop in for advice and training might fit the bill. I'll post a page up on the Tech Committee Wiki for ideas:

I've been lending some thought to meeting, but it seems a good bit of our work can be done in this fashion. I'm not much for scheduling meetings if there are no pressing reviews or decisions to be made.

'bout it. May The Force be with you, Adam
