• Shared Calendar for Professional Development--What should we use? Google Calendar, Sched, SBCTC Calendar? $250/year to expand Sched or $100 to purchase Wordpress Site.  Someone would need to enter info on SBCTC calendar and only one person from SBCTC eLearning team has access. Might cause an issue. Eventbrite is free if the session is free. Need to check calendaring options in Eventbrite. Vote to encumber $300 to use for calendaring options.

• WACC Online 2020-2021 (WACCy Wednesdays)

  • When do we start offering? January 13th and then offer it on the second Wednesday of the month. 

  • How many WACCy Wednesdays do we offer? January 13 (Zoom Training), February 10 (Connie Broughton Award Winner), March 10,  April 14, May 12, June 9. Six total. 

  • Move WACC Wordpress from Sara N. to eLC Wordpress and convert to a Professional Development Wordpress. 

  • Utilize State Board's Canvas to house recordings, discussions, etc. Use Panopto for recordings.
