At the meeting on January 13 we will discuss:
 * Setting up a specific job/role for each wiki member-this will ensure everyone stays involved! (Solomon, 2004).
 * Using Student Acceptable Sites as a whole group lesson (Jean's idea!)
 * Inviting other community members to join our wiki. (Parents, teachers from other schools, etc.) (Jenna Megan's idea!)
 * Discuss lessons we will teach in the Content TIP lab.

Content TIP Lab Lesson Activity Idea for next week:
 * Since we are currently studying "Historical Changes" in Social Studies, I thought we could have the kids create a time line of their life using the program Timeliner. I have created a handout to send home to get more information about a special event that has happened to each child each year of their life. In this program, students type in the year and then type in the "event" that happened that year (ex. learned to walk, lost my first tooth, went to Six Flags). The program does have clipart pictures but I have added more appropriate pictures to the "projects on shared" drive at school- let me know if you need help finding them! This activity should take about 1 hr. and 15 min. You might need to sign up for 2 separate TIP lab times.
