[Sagamore Online] State of Sagamore Online Video Conference

[Dave Allen Barker Jr]

John, if it means you'll participate, I'll even wear something with a
collar.

Even with the change in district website backend, I hope  we (you) can
still speak about what's there now and why, what ideas there are for
future work, the current and planned difference between the district and
pta sits, etc.  Basically, we keep dreaming and leave you, John, to
figure out how to make it happen with the districts tech. ☺

I didn't realize Ms. Brown was such a resource—I'm going invite her to
our Sagmore Online discussion list.

Please feel free to: watch live or later, review or edit the notes/agenda, participate in the video conference, reply(-to-all) to this email, forward to anyone with interest.

Instead of sharing our perspectives on the state of Sagamore online right then and there, we agreed it'd be wise to do it in a recorded video conference instead.  That way, more people can easily participate in the discussion, and the discussion can be watched live or later by anyone interested.
