Innovative Ideas

Potential Idea for Topic: Tips for mobile friendly website - Look up stats in Google Analytics for Web App (try Lancaster HS, CSAT, Avoca, Wellsville)

Potential Idea for Topic: Gather 3-5 “How do I’s….”, - email all wtw contacts and explain the concept. Ask for participants/questions. Select topics and then share the topics PRIOR to the meeting and ask districts to come prepared to “share”.

Potential Idea for Topic: Get in touch with Colleen Sloan to find out if they have anything on the Social Media questions/Candy – Guidelines/Policies for SM

Email Schoolwires Support – find out if there is a way to view how many sections are remaining. If not – ask Mike to provide us with a list by site (districts can’t buy sites the day they run out – has to be budgeted WELL in ADVANCE!

Tasks for UGM

Ask Rob if he thinks we should give an update on PassKey at the meeting…

Provide Mike and Dirk date for meeting and plan who will be attending for SW’s.

Find out from Mike if we can get a demo of the full features of C2 Mobile…
