DAT Meeting

DAT stands for Department Action Team (I think). It's a paid meeting to give us a chance to meet as a group and resolve any challenges or issues we face as instructors.

As an example of how I use the blog, I created a tab to create an outline for tonight's meeting. (assume a maximum of 10 minutes for each item and we'll be done in 90 min.)

1. Introductions, so we all get to know each other a bit better
2. Go over this outline, so you all know what the plan is (and add any other topics of interest)
3. Introduce the blog, poll interest in the AAU ANIM blog.
4. Operant Conditioning and the 'cookie point' game
5. Group Activity; Build an FAQ list to answer.
6. Suggestions for other tabs.
7. Other Ideas for class lessons and activities.
8. Any other business.
9. Surprise Treat!
