Nov+2+Technology+PDD

= NOVEMBER 2 TECHNOLOGY PDD = HI - This page was created for us to brainstorm presentations for the Nov 2 LTM. We will have 1/2 of the day (it is an entire day long LTM). We will need to have several concurrent sessions (3-4). I think the Project SMaRT teachers should present some thing they learned through the project and how they implement in their class.

How does this look? Great!! Awesome Marilynn (<3 Lisa)

__Inservice Points for Technology__ I'm wondering how people will earn inservice points for the Tech Day, and on TrainU there is a course: Integrating Classroom Technology with Instruction (it goes with the component by pretty much the same name-- same as "Infusing Technology in Instruction"??). Can people do the Tech Day, enroll in the course, and complete the activities? This is what the description says on TrainU: "This course is a set of follow up activities to be done after attending the workshop "Integrating Classroom Technology". The school Professional Development Coordinator should open the appropriate components as listed in the course. At the conclusion of the course, usually May 31, I will send a list of teachers that have completed the course to the PDC to distribute points." I know it's referring to an actual other workshop, but the workshop covers Document Camera, LCD Projector, Sound Field Enhancement, "Computer Application" (?), DVD Player, and requires "Edline Web Presence". Do you think it's possible one of our sessions can be THIS? There is another component "Learning & Teaching Using Technology" and "Using Technology to Integrate Curriculum Content Areas"

Cant one of the objectives in the component we already opened be used? Marilynn

[I just pulled out our planning discussion. Since Marilynn's rapid call-to-action, this has become pretty much moot.]

Is this still necessary? Should I send out an all school call? An all call would be great .. if we can fit in this LTM then we can use the ideas at our best practice day! I'll make a note to myself to mention this 10/7/10 AM : )

Do we have a classroom set of clickers for teachers to use? I have been desperately asking for a set since pre-school. If there is a set, no one has told me. I just e-mailed Dr. Cartlidge about this. Coincidentally the technology people from North Area want to have an eInstruction workshop on 11/2. __What do you think about the other Virtual Learning Lab? It doesn't seem like it will be occupied__... They will be demonstrating CLICKERS! and mobi! I asked Dr. Cartlidge if she could say "yes" contingent on the school getting some clickers. the other virtual learning lab does not work but we can meet in it.. I put this room on the list of rooms we requested for the day. When does the eintruction want to present? how long do they want and is it a mandatory training for everyone? Marilynn

I feel we need to start working on this ASAP if we want to get quality presentations. Marilynn
