12. Network task for march
During our CIT Mentor Forum on March 18th, we will conduct a gallery walk so each network can share “artifacts” of its work thus far.
The “artifact” can be a bulleted list, a poster, work samples, illustrations, data, etc..
Each network may choose to have a spokesperson who will remain at the “artifact” to answer questions (the spokesperson will swap with another member of that network every five minutes, so that everyone can participate in the gallery walk).
You will have the first 40 minutes of the March 18th Forum with your network in order to assemble, or to put the final touches on, your “artifact” together.
