Tasks for UGM • 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…
