  1. Discussion

: Brown Bag Lunches for Spring 2002 Ethington

Discussion continued on revising the format or times of the sessions to try and gain more participation. The Focus is still on "Information Education". Will mentioned some of the impact in lower numbers may be due to the additional 13 training sessions sponsored by Open Learning and Rick Sapanaro. It also may be they are too specific. This will continued to be a discussion item with consideration given to new time slots. It may be the committee could put more emphasis and focus on PDA or additional technology trainings.

: ETC Listserv Ethington

Nothing new on this. We are waiting to hear from Ken Fiori on the possibility of replacing the current listserv with an Outlook distribution list.. It may be a possible summer project.

: Staff Development/PDA Proposal Status/Flex Royal

Discussion took place on finding out the timelines for setting up flex activity days for Spring 2003. The committee wants to bring David Diaz to present. It was decided since this is not dependent on the additional CATE hands on sessions, that it does not have to be a flex day and we will try to get it into the Spring '03 PDA as a regular session.

: Ed Tech Master Plan Review Baty

Will handed out the Table of contents for the Strategic Master Plan for Technology 2002 and Beyond. The entire document may be reviewed by going into outlook, selecting Public Folders, ITG, and then "Master Technology Plan"

He pointed out a few of the features of the Technology Master Plan (TMP) which have been revised a bit due to recent budget issues such as only implementing the projects that do not need additional hiring to support it.

Some of the purchases include;

- Full-time faculty upgrades of computers

- District software site licenses

- New computer labs

- Student Wireless Campus Networks

- Sever upgrades

- Software upgrades

- Facilities remodel for existing rooms

- Newman Auditorium equipment replacement

- ....and much more which can be reviewed online.

: Tech Ed Conference Nothing reported

: Goals for 2002/3

This item will be brought forward to the Fall meeting.

: Membership 2002/3
