See powerpoint slides.
Main items:

• Submit a lesson plan on-line
• June 10th culmination of year 3 activities – More details at next meeting.

Matrix teachers will be working on projects that will be shared at the June 10th culmination session in Trenton, NJ. More details forthcoming. All Matrix teachers need to meet with Ihor to define their projects. Details will be posted on Matrix website.

Problem: the Smartboard is housed in the media center which makes it difficult to schedule classes there.  Suggestion was made to roll board into a classroom and Matrix teachers could change classrooms with the teacher scheduled in the room with the Smartboard. Mary and Ines (with Carmine’s and Chanise’s help) will set up a schedule and coordinate the effort. Every Matrix teacher should use the Smartboard for an activity with students at least once a month.

Teachers will meet with Ihor to plan their individual projects for this event.

Please make sure that the logs indicate matrix related work and you must submit the logs to Ihor before you submit your time cards. Teachers should send them to Ihor by email.

Make a note in your calendars. Theme: using the Smartboard in your class.
