Our awesome technology director and I gave a Web 2.0 training at our school yesterday and it was GREAT! The teachers that were there were from 2nd grade through 12th, but they were all supportive, intuitive, and glad to be there. They asked great questions and wanted to know details about the sites. They were brainstorming openly with the whole group, even though some of them barely know each other; remember that this is a very rural community that has three school buildings all in different towns. When the trainings were over, they stayed in the room and discussed additional ways to use the sites, worked on making those ideas start to come to life, and collaborated with each other. I was glad to see that they must've gotten something out of the training because they didn't all run directly out of the room when it was over!
Next professional development....How to use an iPad in the Classroom!
Right after that....SMART Notebook training for our district's new teachers!
I'd be tickled (as my Grandma Jean would say), if these sessions go half as well as yesterday went! Thanks for all of the support, Camp Point!
