​NASC Agenda
October 24th, 2017

Welcome
Superintendent Carmen welcomed us and thanked us for doing what we do to bring our districts together.

Small Groups (10-15 minutes MAX)- Get into small groups (4-5 people...can’t be with anyone from your school ;-). Introduce yourselves and decide on one piece of technology that can be used in the classroom for student learning. Post the link to the resource and bullet points about how this resource can be used. The only stipulation is that you cannot repeat resources. This list can then be shared out with your fellow peers. Don’t worry about prepping for this! It is supposed to be a very quick, but productive activity!

Link to Technology for student learning
How it can be used in the classroom

Help Chat - What do you need help with in your district?

• Cloquet is looking for resources regarding keyboarding.
  • Schools shared what they were doing regarding keyboarding.

EdCamp Notes

• Survey Feedback
• Shared curriculum maps
• Sharing materials between districts (i.e. books, hardware, photo equipment, etc)
• Setup night before?
• Coffee
• Access to computer/projectors
• Lack of facilitator knowledge
• Refresh teachers on EdCamp process
• Possibly use SAGA as first session
