Small group sessions

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:04 PM

11.

Hands-on in the computer lab on applications that are useful and meaningful to me.

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 7:05 AM

21.

Have not been here long enough to go to any. In the past hands on training has worked best. I have enjoyed being able to apply the tech in the sessions to my content.

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 6:12 AM

22.

Course/class sessions have been most helpful for me. (Wimba, Moodle)

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 5:47 AM

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:12 PM

N/A

[Type text] 2:18 PM

Mon, Jan 3, 2011 1:52 PM

13.

sit and get with no touching

Mon, Jan 3, 2011 5:26 AM

14.

Introductions to lots of different technology, where the presenter just shows us lots of applications, with just a few minutes to try them out or no time for experience.

Sun, Jan 2, 2011 6:35 AM

15.

Training sessions where someone shows me technology but I'm not able to practice it while the presenter is presenting.

18.

Technology that is limited in buildings, therefore I loose interest in using the tools.

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 11:56 AM

19.

None

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 7:54 AM

20.

Sessions that are not helpful to me and those that expose me to technology not readlily available in the schools where I work. I feel that there are technology experts assigned to each Region, and technology applications are not the highest priority in my role as curriculum specialist. The regional technology people should be providing support for technology in schools.

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 7:05 AM

21.

Ones that have just been instruction and I have not been able to use the technology while in the the class.

Wed, Dec 29, 2010 6:12 AM

Need to know what all of those resources on the previous page are.

Wed, Jan 5, 2011 5:53 AM

I need to know what teachers are actually using in the classroom with their students and how I can effectively assist them.

Wed, Jan 5, 2011 5:53 AM

I am eager to learn all types of technology

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:15 PM

I work with middle school teachers, so I need to know about the new tools they are using with their students and the new student tools like Gaggle. I have to keep up, but now I'm at a catch up stage.

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:12 PM

Demonstrations on how to use the technology with teachers (sepecially the first time).

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:10 PM

10.

Interacting with teachers for training and meetings. Wimba has not been as effective as I hoped. I also would like to have technology that I can share with teachers in their classroom that does not involve an additional expense.

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:04 PM

11.

I need examples of how to use the technolgy for specific content areas. Fine to learn the different technology, websites, etc,, but how can it be used in the classroom in my subject area.

Mon, Jan 3, 2011 2:18 PM

12.

I would like to have hands-on training for the E-6 lab. Ebeam I-PADS and apps to use with I-PADS.

Sun, Jan 2, 2011 6:35 AM

15.

I LOVE technology and I'm not afraid to try/use it. I'm a sponge. I want to learn as much as possible! The school where I spend my time does not have hardly any technolgy available, so I do need to learn about technology for my use, presentations, and for schools with very little (if any) technology available.

Wed, Jan 5, 2011 1:58 PM

Sometimes workshops are conducted at a pace that does not recognize that participants have different levels of computer skills. For some of the workshops there should be a basic introduction for beginners

Wed, Jan 5, 2011 5:53 AM

Thank you. I am so glad you are here!!!

Tue, Jan 4, 2011 2:04 PM

Welcome to the building!
