Meeting Time: 3:45 Place: Media Center at Hope Street Academy - Note these items are not listed in order of priority.

1. CINEMA 4D Studio software - This is the software that we have been doing a pilot on at TWHS. It was originally reviewed last spring. At that time funds were not available. Currently it looks like Perkins will purchase the licenses if approved for it. It will be used on new Mac laptops that will also be purchased this spring with Perkins money. tr
 * Approved**

2. Study Island - Original discussion link I will be sharing the response from T&L at our meeting. tr
 * Approved and Successmaker will be taken off the approved list but schools who are currently running new web based Successmaker will be allowed to continue to do so .**

3. ZoomIt - Laura Bentler's request; Is there any reason students do not have access to ZoomIt? I can see it being very educational. Circle the nouns on this page, underline the verbs, etc. LOTS of great activities for them to use with ZoomIt. tr Doesn't everyone have Easiteach? I see Easiteach in the glass mode as a better fit. You escape out of ZoomIt and it's gone and it is so easy to get out. Where as you have to intentioanlly get out of Easiteach. sw
 * Share the notes above with Laura as a better alternative. **
