2016+Term+3+Minutes

Best wishes to Tracy who was expecting her third grandchild! Sometimes books dealing with death could make young readers aware problems may be overcome, (my comment). Discussion about update to Oliver 8, (Karen and myself). How do we credit the Adobe Training? Karen has hit dead-end with that. Karen-stocktake training put back. May do trial to see if it goes okay. I discussed some of the problems but finally we have Single Sign-On, (SSO). Problems were to do with the Department integration; the fact we had old free ebooks on OASIS, Wheelers had the same free ones, so duplicates and further complication of incorrect GMD given when integrated. Finally sorted by Softlink. We can now think about encouraging the use of the ebook platform. Discussed how increasing use at BHS. Have bought more. Not so much interest at SCAC or BVSCL. Declining NAPLAN results. Possible reasons-not as many books, BYOD, iPad usage. Disposing of old books. Rotary no longer want as many. Not feasible to send overseas. Best to quietly add to a skip! Next meeting will be at Pambula PS. The meeting closed at 3.00 PM.

 * Gaye –“My Dead Bunny” on the Notables List. Thought to be inappropriate. Purpose of this book questionable and could make junior readers unhappy. Karen and Leonie expressed similar views.

 * Leonie- book fair, book parade and activities.
 * Anne- 15 classes attending still into this week. From BVPS, Tathra PS and St. Pat’s.
