 * Websites found via Interface Mag**

Before splitting into groups discussion was had relating to
 * Up and coming events - Clustershare/TOD Conference (Venue, timetables were shared, taster sessions were clarified re timing and content)
 * Workshops (if Leads are not prepared to run these - Paula WILL NOT be stepping in, we are in our 3rd year of a contract and it is time as leads to be 'confident, connected, lifelong learners')
 * We are ALL busy people but we need to make time for what we value and also acknowledge the time, effort and money that has gone into getting us this far! Hang in there WE CAN DO IT!!!!!!
 * COMMUNICATION IS THE KEY - particularly between Leads and Principals and then the filter down from Leads to classroom teachers.

 * Term 2 Workshops - WHO IS DOING WHAT?**
 * 3 - Glenholme (TBC) Wendy


 * NEWSLETTER - DID EVERYONE RECEIVE THE EMAIL? (Rotorua may not have - Francis to check)**

Tech Angels- will receive a lanyard and USB stick each. At their Milkshake meeting they will have to choose a new name for the group. We also decided that instead of a conference for the kids we would just run two workshops (host school to be confirmed). Cluster conference (term 2) we are assuming that each cluster is responsible for half of the breakouts (15) all schools agreed to run two presentations which would give us a total of 14. We thought it would be a good idea to approach the cluster principals and ask if they would be prepared to fill the 15th spot. If more workshops are required those cluster schools with the larger rolls would be expected to front up.
 * Town and Country** - Overview of what was discussed received from Dean:


 * RCICT** - Two day cross school (was 27th/28th March Week 9) visits **postponed** until Term 2 or 3 (now 'Celebration time and to include Te Roopu group). You will be contacted when the dates are decided.

= **Cluster Share** =
 * ALL leads to contact Paula (asap) with 4 (or more) teachers from each of the larger schools and 2 (or more) from the smaller schools willing to share in an informal context for 10 minutes.**
 * SEVERAL SCHOOLS HAVE CHOSEN TO MAKE IT COMPULSORY FOR ALL STAFF TO SHARE IN THIS FORMAT BEFORE THE END OF THE YEAR - I think this is a great idea, remember your school and ALL your staff have had significant time, money and effort put into their ICT and SOLO personal development over the period of this 3 year contract. Is a 10 minute informal sharing with their peers too much to ask? **
