I met with my school's School Improvement Team to discuss the plans I had been making toward offering training for SmartBoards and also our new AirLiners. They were very interested and receptive to the plans I had formulated with the principal. As it stands, workshops will begin Wednesday after school. I am hoping to video a bit of each group as they meet and work with each other. I have separated the groups by grade level and have combined both people who are well versed in SmartBoard uses and people who need mentoring with SB techniques. Each group will be led by a member who is comfortable with their SB and who use it everyday in a variety of ways. Each of these people agreed to work with their group in their classroom. I am hoping these small groups will be very work well together and be comfortable within their group. I will send out one last email outlining the whole process and I will also talk with the whole group before they break off into their small groups. They will be able to earn technology credit for participating in this workshop along with some SB "homework". This is very exciting for me.
After this workshop to get everyone more on the same page, more indepth training will be offered. I have talked with the county tech people about doing this one. All that we have to do is set a date. I have also been collecting websites to share with the staff. Hopefully this will be ongoing as we explore and use more and more websites. There are sooooooo many of them out there.
Can't wait for it all to finally happen!! I am still itching to get into the possible broadcasting, but right now I can only do what I can do......
