    1. Teachers need to master more than the subject matter they teach; they must also have a deep understanding of the manner in which the subject matter (or the kinds of representations that can be constructed) can be changed by the application of particular technologies

      Abstraction and analysis can be aided by technology. How are you staying up to date on available tools which can aid your instruction? How do you evaluate the use of those technologies and revision of lessons? How do you reflect on further changes or iterations?

    2. being able to recognize when information technology can assist or impede the achievement of a goal

      There is a big push in working effectively with technology, but for the purposes of this course (and in all teaching), we're more interested in how we teach, which includes technology components, but is not contingent on its use or non-use.

    3. Teachers’ deep knowledge about the processes and practices or methods of teaching and learning.

      Some practices are limited to specific courses (ex: listening tests in music) and that comes into play with the PCK component. But, there are shared practices in all areas and that is what we're focusing on for this PLC.

    4. every situation is unique, and no single combination of content, technology, and pedagogy will apply for every teacher

      Frameworks help us build our professional expertise and implementation of programs. Students are exposed to varying viewpoints and contexts. Having common goals help implement systemic change effectively.

    5. The TPACK framework goes further by emphasizing the kinds of knowledge that lie at the intersections between three primary forms: Pedagogical Content Knowledge (PCK), Technological Content Knowledge (TCK), Technological Pedagogical Knowledge (TPK), and Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge (TPACK)

      The instructional core is "the interaction of teachers and students in the presence of content." Knowing all three of those is important in building a strong culture of learning. TPACK helps build a strong culture of learning with technology.

    1. Allow admin curation of links (adding links, or removing irrelevant links on same thread)

      Can you describe in more detail?

    2. Consider adding tags in new custom email header

      Exactly what you mean should be spelled out here. Feels like this is either Phase 2 or 3.

    3. Alert users when they start annotating an older version of a document (requires knowing the current version)

      This feels like Phase 3.

    4. Optional: Add special "classes" of annotation, such as tests results, that display differently in the spec than simple text annotations (perhaps as icons for browser support)

      You say "display differently in the spec". In what way? By color, by style of highlight, etc. Suggesting this be Phase 2 or 3.
