 * 1:30 Welcome **

Podcasting 101--Some of you likely know more about podcasting than I do, but we'll engage in a collaborative podcast creation experience, and hopefully we'll all come away knowing more about how to incorporate podcasting into our classrooms.

 * 2:30 Developing Your Learning Network**

Using RSS--This was one of the topics with high interest on the survey last fall, and it can be a great time saver when trying to stay current. We'll do a quick overview of how to subscribe to a feed in Safari or Firefox and how to use an aggregator like Google Reader or Bloglines. media type="custom" key="5151869"


 * 2:45** **The Forum: Information and Communication Processes** (Communication and Collaboration--Basic--260)

**NEW** Streamed 8th Grade TLA Presentation

The concept of the forum comes to us from Ancient Rome as a public gathering place for sharing ideas, and that is the focus of our modern day forum here. Our forums this spring will center on each of the SD Education Technology Standard Strands where DSD is scoring at the basic level on the SD Technology Literacy Assessment. We'll engage in a process for sharing to include your ideas, tools, or questions in addition to some general discussion.


 * 3:20 Future Forums**

Bring an idea, tool, or question to share with the group--something that works for you, especially focused on the designated strand for each date.
 * March 17--Information Literacy and Decision Making
 * May 12--Creativity and Innovation
