 * Thursday, October 6, 2011 :**

**Here is a brief summary of our accomplishments:**
 * We reviewed our wiki, its pages and made sure everyone present had a wikispaces account and is a member of our wiki (gives you editing rights)
 * We set the meeting dates for the 2011-2012 school year (see Study Group Info page)
 * We reviewed the Web 2.0 Quick Start Guide developed by the 2010-2011 group (attached below) and agree that it is good to go.
 * We discussed the vision of our wiki in the future and our sharing out. We hope principals will enable our members 10 minutes at a faculty meeting to share 1 tool the group has investigated. Each building should share one tool with faculty in between meetings ~4-5 times/year.
 * We did a round robin sharing of a tool each of uses or is interested in

(Quick Start Guide Template here is the updated/finalized version)
