Action Learning Group Meeting

Today my group met on the AET zone to give each other some socratic questions to think about for each of our projects. It was kind of neat to hear everyone's thought processes. It was also hard to stay on track with socratic type questions. I think I kept trying to give advice. Some good questions that they my group asked was "How are you going to get your school interested or excited about technology"?, "What are your plans or What type of process are you planning to start with for this project?" My first thoughts were to do sometype of survey to find out who is using technology and what types of technology is being used in the school. I also shared with that I thought about doing afterschool workshop with anyone that wants to come or with our 8 first year teachers. For the first year teachers, I thought about doing something that shows them all the technology that available for them to intergrate into their curriculums. Another good questions was, "How do you get them excited to be there and to not think that this is just another meeting afterschool"? I thought about asking the principal if we could offer some CEU's for attending the meeting. For first year teachers, it would have to be something else.....I mentioned there's always candy to give out! So that's what I gained from our meeting today. I think everybody walked away with something to think about for their own project. We also asked each other about , what are some different resources that we'll need for this project. Mine would be my librarian, maybe instruction coach (she's over our ILT's), principal, and of course school wide support.
