=Welcome to our LBSC 723 Wiki!=

Planning Update for the Grant Draft:

We'll meet in the Lounge at 4:30pm on Thursday.

Information we should find: >
 * Who are our partners? What are the major libraries and museums and professional associations in Maryland?
 * Who are our "competitors"?
 * Other sites we've identified
 * What other states have similar programs??
 * What are our costs?
 * Elluminate software for webinars ...
 * Cost sharing of personnel ...
 * Two internships ... $25K x 2 people x 2 years = $100,000 (source: Dr. Hahn)
 * Consultant to help design the site ...
 * Cost sharing:
 * Salaries and overhead ...
 * Hosting the site and technical support ... (Dr. Hahn's grant has $5K for this. What's reasonable for us??)
 * How many people stand to be affected by our project?
 * Teachers
 * Students
 * Museums and libraries
 * What's going on with enrollment in humanities course (middle through high school) and what's going on with funding?
 * Are there major variations in funding in these courses throughout the state?
 * Where are institutions geographically concentrated, and how many students are in counties too far away for a field trip? (e.g., by milage, by county, however we can get the data)
 * We'll need to address how these resources will be shared with the students. Will schools have the tech resources to go on virtual field trips?

Sources to use:
 * Colorado has a project like this!! []
 * Maryland Humanities Council (suggested by Carlos)
 * Maryland State Board of Education
 * Just published! Gates report on teachers: http://www.scholastic.com/primarysources/pdfs/Scholastic_Gates_0310.pdf
