Hello I see you have already taken this course through lamar univeristy. This is the course that I am currently enrolled in. We are in week 2. THis is the most challenging course yet. I have 2 more classes til graduation!! Question..do you have your assignments saved and willing to share? It always helps to see an example of completed work to help in completing my assignment. IF you do and are willing to share.can you pls send to me email agarza1981@yahoo.com thanks a bunch! I know it always helps to have a buddy with you, but no one I know is taking this course. Please help! THanks
ReplyDeleteTammy, I believe by you including the walk throughs in your plan, it will help with administrator perceptions to the tools. By you explaining what to look for in the walk throughs, that will/should become part of their normal PDAS teacher evaluation. They already have to look for technology integration, so this will help with that.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of using teacher interviews as part of the data collection in your plan. Teacher buy in is critical for the success of any program. They can give you insight on how the whiteboards are functioning in the classroom and their opinions of the effectiveness. They can also give you ideas for additional training.
ReplyDeleteI like the use of help desk ticket tracking - I would never have thought of that! By seeing how many tickets there are versus the interviews, you can truly get a picture of how often the boards are being used. And, as Angela pointed out with her post, it may lead to future training ideas if you see a persistent problem.
