NOTES
- Each team member describes their interest in this project - promoting partnerships with higher education, expanding access to tools and resources beyond VC in K-12,baceloriate universities, and other K-20 institutions, figuring out sustainable use cases, have a microscopy lab (1 in use and 2 more to be installed) on NDU campus and would like to extend outreach.
- In k12 it will be important to define educational goals (how does it align to standard). It will be important to pick K-12 participants who also see the value of thinking "beyond the standards" and teaching to the test.
- Kim Owen has K12 bandwidth metrics for a recent remote microscope project she did in ND. averaged 6 mbps downstream
- James will work with Linda Roos to garner support from key Internet2 staff who can help introduce our team to the research community.
- Larry and Jeff shared Nysernet's plan to conduct some pilot uses of remote instruments in NY as part of a big I2 promo campaign/event. check out the draft event brochure.
- Timeline and team cycles- everyone has cycles to contribute. 2-3 hours/week seems reasonable to all.
- Larry/Jeff - likes the timeline (syncronizes with NY I2 outreach event)
- Kim O - have mega jr. coming up so that will take time.
- Eric J - willing to spend time. rounding up campuses to particpate in pilot and marketing
- Let's think about choosing K-12 schools to work with between now and the summer, do any training that is required during the summer, then pilot the projects in the school in fall 2010. NY is trying to do a mini-pilot in the spring 2010.
- Pilot participants - Eric will work on identifying a few baceloriates. We also should identify a couple community colleges. What about libraries? Museums, and science centers? Talk with Rob.
- Its essential to spend time at the outest identifying what resources exist and the issues around extending access?
- Decided to set up standing bi-monthly meetings starting in January.
- Between now and January eveyone will submit the resources they know about to the wiki.
- we didn't get to the discussion around the proposed categorization of resources and what types we want to include. save for next meeting.
