Present: George, Logan, Madi, Emma, Jack, Connor, Julius, Reed, Libby, Holly
Apologies: Anthony

Agenda:

1. Teaching Tips for TWTs - what do you do if you get more kids than you had expected? What about breaking them into groups so they are either doing different things or helping each other. Could you give them practice at teaching each other (get two to watch someone else teaching someone and then give them feedback).
2. FOS News - Logan and Connor to gather these Wed.
3. New Tool - http://ed.voicethread.com/ username and password emailed to you.

Meeting Minutes - Term 4 Week 5

Present: Libby, Emma, Madi, Jack, Connor, Logan, Laura, Julius, Reed
Apologies: Holly, Anthony
Absent: George

Agenda:

1. Digital Safety - what does this mean at FOS? Being safe when using digital equipment, not searching for icons, doing things that improve your learning, when you go on a website if anything bad or inappropriate happens then what to do,treating equipment with respect and safely.
   
2. TWT programme -going really well. The TWTs are listening well. Remember that you are the leaders of this so assert yourselves if you need to.
   
3. FOS News - we are trying to get a copy of all news items from the whole year to put on the FOS youtube account. Connor and Logan started this. We need someone to take responsibility for this and they need to liaise with the Room 10 people. On Mondays (or after assemblies) they need to put the imovie into the Class iMovie Backup > FOS News.
   
4. Library & Sports Blog - getting all classes onto these two key blogs. Julius/Connor - how is the joining up of the classrooms to the library blog going?
5. Google Apps - every TWT will get their own FOS google account (if their parent agrees). This is something TWs may not get as they already have their own gmail account.

Actions:

• Rob to list which TWT is in which area and set up a checklist for the register of who turns up.
• Julius/Connor - identify a TWT to help you do the job of connecting classrooms to the library/sports blogs. Work with Rob next week to make the checklist.

Meeting Minutes - Term 4 Week 4

Present: Libby, Madi, Connor, Reed, Laura, Jack, Emma
Apologies: Anthony
Absent: George, 

Agenda:

Touch base re: Tech Wizard Trainee programme - the first sessions on blogging have run really well. The TWT know what job they are doing and are really keen! This is because of your great leadership. Rob has met with them once and again tomorrow to check out the photos of great learning they have taken. Please remember to book in the daily notices when you are running your sessions to maintain momentum. 
Picasa and iPhoto use - a couple didn't know how to do this. Please see the tutorials for iphoto and picasa in the TW blog.
FOS News - it would be great to involve the TWs in the uploading of FOS News to the school youtube account. These movies will then go live to FOS Live!

Actions:
All - book in TWTs training sessions.
Rob - set up gmail accounts for all TWTs.
