__Thoughts:__ Digital community/access Certified LMS Growing physical and digital collection Emphasis on skills Emphasis on inquiry / Foster love of learning Variety of global access points

__Thoughts__ Information center Learning center Nerve center Heart of a community Portal Platform Doorway Free and open access to all community member

__Thoughts__ Flexible schedule for LMS Meeting time/PD just for LMS Combined/centralized resources - I'm specifically thinking about the VHS collection here at 2Rivers. House the collection at central offices and have 1 digital copy made as needed and circulated to the requesting teacher at any school within CREC. Someone at CREC has the ability to convert VHS to DVD, and copyright allows us to make one digital copy of each VHS tape. Since it has to be done in real time, it wouldn't make sense to have all of them done at once, but only done at the request of teachers who want to use them in the classroom. We would need an online catalog of these resources. Thoughts on this....?
