Changes/Additions made to last minutes:

Aditional professors did presentations to the Board of Trustees ways that they are using technology to enhance classroom experiences:

 

Tig outreach – poor turnout at sessions – discussed having 5 minute presentations at faculty meetings.

 

Expertise collection is still in progress – planning stages.

 

Wireless is operational in library.

 

Ac’s or no Ac’s? John Davis will check on this.

 

Copyright policy – There is a copyright committee and we do have a copyright policy it will be reviewed by the MC College lawyer.  Students bound by same copyright laws as rest of staff faculty.  Discussion followed about plagiarism/copyright violations

 

New Business

 

Multimedia classrooms – what can be done differently, whiteboards because of chalk dust, additional filters have this bundled with the quotes for the new labs for this year.  Discussion followed about who likes white boards vs standard chalkboards; decided to take a tour of the multimedia labs and make report at the next TAG committee meeting (Dave Cress, Angie Burdiss & Joe Sullivan)

 

Next round of Multimedia include McDonough, Herman, Brown, McKinney should there be portable labs discussed the possibility of security issues/set up issues will need more input from faculty

 

Wireless labs – Discussed which wireless rooms in the buildings the professors would want to be wireless – Laura will review which rooms.
