So no one showed up for our meeting on 10/18 except for me...One of the techs was out on an emergency leave and the other totally forgot. The first 9 weeks has really kicked our butt! Thank God we got fall break to recuperate. We have reconvened and decided that we will be hosting a professional development for teachers in our school system who want to learn how to set up a class webpage. We are still in the early stages of planning, but as soon as the school board gives us an exact date we can offer the class I will let you all know.
We really hope that this PD will get teachers fired up about using technology in the classroom, even if it starts simple like for displaying class work, informing students and parents about upcoming events and assignments in their class rooms. The PD we offer will be the basics and we will lend ourselves on a per person basis if they want to learn more advanced items by appointment only.
My responsibility during the PD is to be the hands on demonstrator and walk teachers through what the process is like when setting up a class webpage/site. I've had a class page since I started teaching 4 years ago. I only could get 3 teachers to set up a page in this amount of time. I hope that will change after this PD we offer.
