This document provides an overview of an online meeting for teachers participating in the MAD about Mattering project. The meeting agenda includes introducing participants, reviewing the project timeline and activities for February, and discussing an upcoming keynote. Teachers are asked to share classroom updates on the wiki page and prepare for an activity where students will map and blog about things that break their heart in an effort to develop apps that create positive change. Regular online meetings and communication through Google groups are emphasized as important aspects of the project.
