TWT2011-Google+sites+as+team+meetings


 * Session: 44. Google sites as team meetings**
 * Presenter: Kathryn Kaiser**
 * School: School at Columbia**

As an administrator, team meeting time is always too short for the amount of discussion and collaborative planning needed in a dedicated school community. Google sites, easy to set up and administer, can extend the reach of discussions, planning, information exchange and collaboration beyond the traditional time boundary. These team sites can also create a platform to increase participation in your grade level team members. Some members are reluctant to share in a group, have schedule conflicts that limit their ability to attend meetings, or just need more wait time to get their ideas on the table. Expand the table- start a Google site for each of your grade levels and reap the rewards of all hands (and hearts) on deck.
 * Description:**

After taking this workshop, participants will have the knowledge and skill to create and administer a planning site for grade level, division, discipline or committee teams.

//Instructions for attendees:// If the presentation is to be a workshop, attendees will need a computer, Google account established, and sample minutes, charts, or other archive material from current team meetings converting to a Google site. Participants can also come to see some layouts and talk with others about their own needs and possibilities.
