Agenda+for+Meeting

__**Purpose:**__ The purpose of this meeting is to create a shared vision for teachers at Sachse High School about the use of technology in the classroom setting on an everyday basis.

__**Objective:**__ The objective is to create a vision that can be used by all teachers, no matter the grade level or content of their class.

__**Grade Level:**__ For the activity let's focus on 11th and 12th graders

__**Facilitator**__: Alexis Hill

__**Community members**__: Veronica Plata, Christopher Reza, Michael Halac, Rikki Jones, Romonna Wilson, Lindsey Cox and Richard Adams. Jessica Ortiz and Jennifer Barnes will also include input on the agenda.

__Activity Purpose:__ We, as teachers, need to remember that our sole purpose as an educator is to prepare them for their futures. Their futures are going to involve more technology than ever before, so we need to do a better job of supplying them with enough opportunities to develop the proper skills necessary for future technology use. While we are creating a shared vision for our campus, we need to keep this in mind: Are we preparing them for the future? __Steps:__ Think about 5 different jobs that could be the most common for our students in the future. Make a list of all the things that you think they would need to know about technology for these jobs. Make a list of all the skills that are needed for more than one job and another list for those that are separate. How can we teach our students these skills in our classrooms, even if it is an introductory step? Once we have collected all of the data, how can we use these findings to make a mission statement for technology use at Sachse? __Timeline:__ Approximately one week
 * __Activity Name:__** If you were an employer, what technology skills would you like for your employees to be able to do before starting employment?
