July 2014, [[User:Dave|I]] was sponsored (~$100-$150) by the [[Sagamore Hills Elementary School PTA]] to attend the [http://georgiapta.org/ Georgia PTA] Community Leadership Training. I was not on the Sagamore PTA Board, but an interested volunteer who had helped a little with communications and science. I went with: |
|||
* [[Jen Ranero]], President 2013-2015 |
|||
* [[Kristie McMahon]], President 2014-2016 |
|||
* [[Amy Gabriel]], Treasurer |
|||
* [[Nancy Shober]], Communications |

==Experience== |
|||
I wasn't too impressed by the experience. |
|||
On the plus side, it was nice to see the organization’s enthusiasm for children. I can see how such a get together could fire folks up to do more good than they would have otherwise. I enjoyed getting to know the Sagamore PTA Board. |
|||
On the weak side, I was disappointed in the lack of training. I feel like there's quite a bit of stress for our PTA around issues that every other PTA is probably also addressing, and I was hoping a get together like this would suggest best-practices and real world, go through the motions, training, that we could take back. There was mention that there was a lot of wisdom in the audience, but they didn't provide opportunities for attendees to share and teach one another. |
|||
==Notes== |
|||
Took a look at vendor offerings. Grabbed material but didn't chat. |
|||
===IT Vendors=== |
|||

|||
Unfortunately, my impression is that they're still not right. Little mobile support, no mention of how to export data, … |

====SchoolCollabo==== |
|||
Quick impressions, '''[http://www.schoolcollabo.com/ SchoolCollabo]''': Looks good, started by MIT parent (smart), not too much marketing-speak, looks like they're thinking |
|||
See [[Sagamore SchoolCollabo]] for how we gave it a spin. |
|||
====PT Avenue==== |
|||
Quick impressions, '''[https://www.ptavenue.com/ PT Avenue]''': Not so good, old design, simple throw-in-a-bit-of-everything thinking, poor tech (urls, asp, also work on office software, mention hardware updates) |
|||
===Yearbook Vendors=== |
|||
====YearbookLife==== |
|||
… |
|||
====Picaboo Yearbooks==== |
|||

|||
===Georgia Virtual=== |
|||
Went to a session by [http://www.gavirtuallearning.org/ Georgia Virtual Learning], offering a wealth of learning opportunities through '''[https://www.gavirtualschool.org/ Georgia Virtual School]'''. |
