I transferred info from the wiki discussion board here as best I understood the final decision to be. If anyone understood it differently or would like to redefine it, please feel free to do so. This is meant to be a flexible starting point.

Hi Jodi! That is the way I comprehended our goal as well. I like the start with the table of contents. As far as our learning goals are written, can we add specific content area curriculum goals?

List what ever you want in the brainstorm area.... maybe as people add their ideas it will begin to take shape
and other things might drop out.

I added some items to the goals statement thinking that we could link pages to them listing and describing technologies that could help to achieve it. - Steve

I added a suggested format for the pages. I will try to get a back to home page button on each page within the next few days. Also organized our pages into a single folder.

I created a page for a new learning goal "Incorporating Problem Based Learning with Technology". I hope that is a goal that you agree teachers would benefit from learning more about. I like the format that you have set up Jodi. It's very easy to follow. In order to keep working on this, can I find solutions, links, references, articles, examples, etc for any of the Learning Goals listed above?

I also added some technologies to the "Incorporate Virtual Manipulative's" page.

I think it is fine for anyone to fill in areas they want. Allthough in my mind it sort of makes sense to do whole page at a time. What do others think?

Maybe there should be a separate page for technology in professional development? The info about preservice teachers could go there...
