iPods in the Classroom - Teachers will gain ideas for using iPods or any MP3 player in the classroom. Teachers will discover how this popular technology can increase learning understanding.
Smart Board Training - This will provide teachers with the necessary training to operate and use the many features of the Smart Board.
Interactive Power points - Teachers will learn how to create interactive power point lessons, games and webquests to use in the classroom.
Using the Computer for Cooperative Experiences - Expand cooperative learning through technology. Explore different types of online experiences: blogs, tele-communications, and project based learning.
These professional development sessions were created in response to the lack of technology in the district. There is a lack of technology integration in the campus and district plans. With appropriate funding and training the district will be able to increase technology use around the district. All four professional development sessions reflect the need for integration of technology in the classroom.
Data Collection in the Classroom - Teachers will learn to interpret data from benchmark and other standardized tests to apply to instructional strategies.
The "Data Collection in the Classroom" professional development is to address the need of teachers understanding student data and how to utilize it in their instruction. There was a lack of data interpretation professional development in the campus improvement plan.
