j)+C²+Agenda

===Hi everyone! Here is an outline of the agenda for our meeting. To edit, click on the pencil to the right. Type anywhere as if in a Word doc. Please feel free to edit the purpose, objective, activities and reflection as you see appropriate. When we meet, we will fine-tune all the details; add to, clarify and take away the activities that don't fit within the context of the project, or will be too time consuming. Feel free to edit my formatting and spelling/grammar. Don't forget to add your name. You can also join this Wiki on the Home page. Thanks!===

Digital communication is a key skill for a 21st Century learner. Our students will use digital communication and collaboration **C** ross C ampus with other same-age students. They will become involved in the community in a tangible way by integrating service projects with classroom learning. Service-learning engages students in the educational process, using what they learn in the classroom to solve real-life problems.
 * Purpose:**


 * Objective: ** To develop a plan of action over a six week period to join the students on each campus, encourage collaboration and facilitate the students through a process of selecting, researching, online videoconferencing, video journaling, online presentations, contact with community members and team conferencing for final selection. The end product will be a service learning project that will actually be implemented.


 * Grade Level: ** 6th grade


 * Facilitator’s Names: **Lisa Costello, Kay Orr, Ruth Johnson, Diana Saenz, Ann Knostman, Beverly Stovall, Patricia Williams

Create lesson plans which include:
 * Activities:**
 * __Technology Needed__
 * Web cam Will these be through the student laptops?
 * Video conferencing software
 * Is this allowed in our district? I thought we had a bandwidth problem? Our teachers would LOVE to do something with video conferencing. We have thought about doing something with recorded web cam videos. D.S.
 * We are also very interested in this. Did a little research last year. K.O.
 * Kay, Cheryl and I worked on this a little bit last year. There are some challenges that need to be discussed such as how will the port be opened to use videoconferencing? Management of the software? and which software is compatible with the student laptops?
 * Skype?
 * ZoHo?
 * Windows Messenger?
 * What is the possibility to have the videoconference projected onto the big screen?
 * Head sets with Mics
 * Flip Video cameras
 * Cameras
 * Access to Shared Docs/Presentations


 * __Lesson Plans__ - 6 weeks, 2 sessions per week
 * Introduction and Research
 * Introduction to Video Conferencing, Collaboration and Service Learning
 * Social Responsibility
 * What about looking at Apathy (see Challege Based Learning from Apple) ~ AK
 * Student choice???
 * Be sure to cover etiquette with student...such as always act as if you are live on camera (many people have been embarrassed by their actions)
 * Teaming
 * How will we group students? B.S.
 * Wiki
 * Do we need to get parental consent other than the AUP? B.S.
 * How Project will be researched
 * Digital Notecards --awesome job LIsa!!! B.S., yes - cite sources K.O.
 * Shared presentations
 * Present to rest of class
 * Letters to Community Members
 * Whole group selection of project
 * Implementation of Service Project
 * Where and When
 * Legal issues
 * Students off campus
 * From my experience, this is an important piece...students will want to meet face to-face
 * Transportation?
 * Reflection
 * Face to Face: They will create a reflection PowerPoint with one word per slide, wrapping up with a 30 second “Sum it Up’ video. Reflection is a structured opportunity that enables students to critically think about their service experience. When students reflect on their experiences, they learn from them.
 * Pizza Party? Would this be after school? If so, how would we provide transportation home?
 * Funds
 * Grant? Sonic?
 * I think this has so much potential for a RISD Foundation Grant...wouldn't it be wonderful if students could use iMovie and Garage Band to create products sharing their projects????
