Second Staff Meeting

So last month I had my second staff meeting which went a little smoother than the first.  The 6 Mobis that we ordered came in a few days before the meeting so I was able to have them charged up and ready to go.  Several people were out that day due to other meetings so I had a smaller crowd and everyone had their own Mobi to use.  The goal is for everyone to learn something new about the Mobi and create a lesson for them to use in their classroom. I showed a few examples of easy lessons I had created and walked around to troubleshoot some issues teachers were having with the software.

At the end of the meeting I was happy to have two teachers check out new Mobis to try in their classroom.  I just emailed a reminder about our next meeting and gave them instructions on how to import already created lessons so they could start off using them in their classroom.  We have two sessions left.  My original plan was to have the last meeting be a sharing sessions between different grade levels but I decided this would no longer be the best plan.  Two grades levels had to participate in a different kind of meeting and many team members signed up for the same sessions so they would not be the best way to share ideas.  Instead we will have one more session together and share withing our meetings with what teachers have created.  I will then collect samples from each technology meeting and create a folder of documents for other teachers to view.  We will see how next week goes!
