Message From the Ocotillo Project Manager

Managing and supporting Ocotillo have been engaging and enervating during 1992-93. Through Toni Rodriguez's leadership with the enthusiasm and commitment of the faculty and staff chairs, Ocotillo continues to grow and expand the discussion for the future of learning with technologies.

This year's activities and accomplishments included:

The Ocotillo Technology Showcase, Headed for the Future which involved presenters from across the district and a vendor show at the District Office
A Governing Board presentation on Ocotillo
Numerous meetings among committees
Special events and speakers
A Governing Board presentation on Intellectual Rights by the Ocotillo committee leading that charge
A videotape developed for college use on what faculty can do within copyright laws
Recommendations from the OE/OE committee to the Vice Chancellor of Quality and Employee Development
Special meetings with ITS administration and the Vice Chancellor for Educational and Student Development on Access Committee issues and concerns

A special note should be acknowledged to Toni Rodriguez who met with each committee during the year. With her encouragement and vision, committees have moved to a higher, proactive plane. She has worked hard to diffuse the elitist or exclusive perception Ocotillo may have had in the past. She has also actualized what Alfredo G. de los Santos Jr., Vice Chancellor for Educational and Student Development had envisioned as "bubblies" into productive, action-oriented outcomes among committees.
