Tablet Training Update

Yesterday during the afternoon institute day session, I trained the teachers of my department on basic tablet use. Mike provided me with a list of basic operations (Phase I). We proceeeded through those basic operations and I answered questions that teachers had.



After the Phase I was complete, I introduced basic inking features and how to capture a wireless projector. I demonstrated how inking could be used to annotate a Power Point presentation. After our session was over most of the teachers stayed to test out the wireless projector. It was very well received. The training went smoothly and I'm looking forward to introducing some more advanced topics.

Tablet Training

I've spent the past week working on ways to train the Special Education department on the use of tablets. I'm going to work off the checklist Mike gave me in order to get an idea of what teachers know. Most of the help I've given people has been informal. This will be the first time I'll get to sit down with everyone. Not only do I want to see where their at, but I want to know what questions they may have.

Our meeting will take place Tuesday February 20th. We're going to meet during the afternoon institute day session. One thing I'd really like to show everyone is how to capture the wireless projectors. So far we have only one in our department. However, several different teachers use that room so many of them would get an opportunity to use it.
