Topics Discussed: 

Headsets – Have been purchased by our generous PTA and the order is in progress. 

Printers – Janie and Amy are in the process of comparing prices and will order soon.  

Software – textHELP software will be ordered upon Mr. McCaw’s approval. 

Classroom Web Page Guidelines – Since web pages will be the focus on technology this year, the committee felt as though it is necessary to have some guidelines for our teachers.  The following document has been revised and approved by the technology committee and is now ready to be approved by our SBDM council.
