Future plans for the Roma Electronic Learning Community: Set a tentative timeline for our next meeting. (Galvanlisa)

I am unclear on the time frames for your activities. If this is online, I don't feel that the members will log in at exactly the same time. You may want to consider a longer timeframe for the activities.
 * The "estimated time" is how long it would take you to camplete the activity. You may do this at your convenience.**

Your agenda is very detailed and descriptive. Belsa Cantu
