Topic of the Week - Meetings

The following is a survival guide to surviving a meeting for teachers by teachers. Please note that this is a technology seminar, which is putting teachers and computers together. Its kind of like giving scissors to kindergarten students. Some are happily cutting construction paper and some are the lead performers in a 90's rock video.

1. Please let go of all preconceptions that teachers are actually able to teach other teachers. This is the reason Magic Eye failed, once you get your own way of looking at something it just becomes a bunch of statues of liberty and flowers in a garden.

2. Computers dont work sometimes, as much as those would like to believe there is no magic involved. I like science fiction too but unfortunately you must treat computers like kids at a water slide. Sure its fun to send seven down at a time but that can stop up the water a little bit.

3. Bring coffee, you cant smoke inside and it isnt the 50s so booze isnt served until the afternoon without stigma.
