Final Countdown
The Technology side accomplished much more than they had ever thought possible. Many of the teachers in this session came with no computer experience while others were quite computer literate but had no experience using technology in a classroom. Yesterday, everyone had the opportunity to find on line teaching resources and share with their colleagues. Sharing was accomplished by using Google Docs. In order to share pictures, pdf documents and any other document that cannot be used by Google Docs, the attendees opened a Dropbox account and created shared folders. Some of the skills that these teachers are using are advanced even for Canada! Today will be spent using technology as a teaching tool.
The Curriculum team did a fabulous job yesterday as well. The Learning Coaches led their first day of workshops for the teachers at the 10 pilot schools. The sessions focused on navigating through the curriculum, beginning the process of long term planning, and planning assessment for given learning outcomes.
Well done everyone!
