Robin talked about the different possible hardware opinions; Macbooks, PC laptops, Netbooks, Macbook Air, Chromebooks, PC desktops, Imacs, Ipads, Galazy tablet, It is a possible of having different hardware for different grades. Pasi commented that it is best to stay similar with in the schools (LS and US)

Alison started the discussion about Teaching and Learning and offered numerous sites. I have included these and more sites. Everyone had done a lot of research on the Teaching and Learning aspect and a positive energy and direction was obvious.

Next step is the Teaching the learning which will help us decide anything.

The next meeting is difficult to do in the morning and Robin suggested doing an evening dinner meeting. 2 hours of work we all felt we could get a great start on this. You need to email Robin when you can meet after school say at 4:30 to 6:30 after the October break. This is flexible.
