Media--request that media prepare documentation for all of our rooms and the technologies they installed. IT--request that IT prepare documentation for all of the computers and images (including how to do virus updates, request new images, etc.) for all the computers.

The system is broke; we have to somehow change the current structure.

Shelley is going to meet with a media person 11/22 to take pictures of and write instructions for using the media equipment. We will continue to inventory and document computer procedures during the Spring semester. We will also need to talk to IT about updating processes, etc.

In the 10/9 meeting we agreed to do the classroom inventory during week of accountability (so we can all crank it out in a couple of hours). Shelley may get started with IT and Media earlier to get instructions on how to use the various technologies. We decided that we would propose that we get the English Technology support person back since we are having enough hardware and software issues that are taking a long time to be addressed by IT and Media.

Tasks (do you agree with these?):
 * identify what technologies are in each classroom
 * develop instructions how to use each technology
 * ask IT for assistance with computers
 * ask Media for assistance with media
 * print packets for each room (and leave set with front office)
 * develop desired image for classroom computers (what software we want loaded on them)
 * develop desired image for department computers (what software we want loaded on them)

How do we want to go about doing this work?
