__At the Fall PLC, we learned who provides which resources currently used in the district:__ - Online Resources provided by the State – EBSCO and Encyclopedia Brittanica - Online Resources provided by Region 4 – United Streaming - Online Resources provided by Klein ISD – Atomic Learning, ABC-CLIO, NetTrekker, Teaching Books

=December 14, 2009= Assume we have no electronic resources, what would we need or want? Be sure to consider cross curriculum and grade levels. What vendors would you want to have present? What trial accounts would you like? Be prepared to make a recommendation by March. = = =January 25, 2010= Make a list of all the resouces that we want to consider. Be sure that the list is representative of all grades. Use the [|Regin 20 list]. Mark those vendors that you would like to see present. These will will be scheduled for Monday, February 15 and 22 from 8:00 to 12:00. Create a rubric to evaluate the resources.
