Old Business
- Spring Activities - Jerry stated that several workshops are scheduled
in the near future. He reminded the members that Ken Kato has money and
will pay for grant activities. The Faculty Development Committee, the
Native Hawaiian Center and the DE Program are co-sponsoring a SoftChalk
Workshop on March 10. SoftChalk is a web lesson editor that lets faculty
easily create engaging, interactive web lessons for their e-learning
classrooms. Carol and Stefanie Sasaki will be offering a Library Workshop
on March 19. Jerry stated if colleagues ask for specific professional
development activities to let him know and workshops would be set-up.
- Webmail Transition Workshops - at the last meeting, Steve suggested
that Webmail Transition Workshop be offered to assist faculty and staff in
email migration. Jerry checked with the personnel at ITC and also Sam
Rhoads and Vern Takebayashi, who had offered email transition assistant,
and the consensus was to offer one-on-one assistance and not have
scheduled group workshops.
- Faculty Development Committee Reports on the Intranet - at the
last meeting, Ralph stated that committee reports should be posted on the
HCC Intranet. Jerry sent Todd Kobayashi several .pdf files of past
reports, including the one for the Fall 2009 Semester, and they are now
posted in the reports section of the committee section of the Intranet.
New Business
- WILD - Emily and Guy gave an extensive overview of the planned
activities for the day. The draft schedule for the day, including
workshop descriptions and lunch information was distributed. It was
suggested the files of these documents be sent to Todd and he will post
them on the Intranet. Emily will email the campus when they have been
posted. Jerry and Jonathan are coordinating sign-up and money collection.
Jerry gave Emily and Guy $300 that has been collected. Volunteers for
duties for the day were solicited. Personnel lists, by division, were
distributed and volunteers were identified to call faculty and staff who
have not yet registered. Emily stressed that this will be a very fun day
and people need to know that. Getting this word out will help
registration numbers.
- Foundation Account - as approved via email, the Committee members
agreed to give the HS2HCC Committee $225 for faculty and staff lunches
following the morning activities of the day.
- Spring Faculty Professional Development Fund Applications - Jerry
distributed a summary of Professional Development Fund Applications. The
actual applications were on hand. After a short discussion, the funding
amounts were agreed upon. $7580 was awarded for activities and $2400 was
held back for two colleagues to attend the Hawaii Great Teachers Seminar.
Stefanie Sasaki, Sterling Foster and Charlene Gima have been approved to
attend the HGTS with campus and Perkins funds. One more slot is available

Ralph suggested the new Hawaiian Studies instructor, Mark Luke, be asked

Coordinator upon request.
