__**Tech Café Brainstorming from January 3rd, 2008**__ þ Set/up Location þ Stations þ Resources
 * Aspects to consider**
 * Set up Comments**
 * Move to larger space
 * Provide an opportunity for participants to send questions before hand
 * Must be hands on
 * Connect with discussion group areas for informal connecting – more café style
 * Create a space for visiting and connecting
 * It’s helpful if there are specific applications to teaching and learning (Have you considered…? Giving people an idea of how to use various new technologies for teaching and learning)
 * **Idea from Jean Warbucks:** Maybe have scheduled short show and tell things in one corner of the room (i.e. 10-15 minutes on ____ )
 * **Jean Warbucks:** It would be good to have possible questions up on the wall or in our programs becuase often we don't really know what to ask when we come to the tech cafe
