Congratulations on a job well done yesterday at our technology in-service! I really challenged you to an aggressive agenda, and I thank you for “going with the flow” as I dragged many of you out of your comfort zones. You made the afternoon go very smoothly by working so well with your partners. Thanks, too, for not getting frazzled when things don’t work out perfectly. They never do!
From my perspective -- teachers explored new ways to learn about technology, tried out tools and services for the first time, and worked cooperatively to create a project with a tight deadline. We ended up with a useful collaborative presentation that brought all the information together. In a perfect world we would have had twice the time, but you did just fine. An introduction to these concepts is all we need at this point.
With such a broad range of interest and abilities on our faculty, I will be able to use this introduction to “possibilities” as a baseline for more in-depth trainings on specific tools and lesson designs. In the meantime, you will be able to make some informed choices about using technology during this second semester and next year.
