Summer 2012 PD

Here is where we started our discussions @ April eTech Meeting Discussion on Dates—since June was poorly attended last year the group thought it might be best if we offered PD on two different weeks in August but the same offerings (for the PD that is highly suggested). Suggested Dates: August 8 & 9 (Wednesday and Thursday) August 13 & 14 (Monday and Tuesday) __Primary PD Focus__ __Middle School and High School Focus__
 * 1) Study Island/Assessment—would like to have **SI Presenters** (half day at Primary/half day MS HS)
 * 1) Blackboard—thought perhaps you would what a “model” blackboard class should like and that would be the focus for Bb training. **Learn 21 Presenters**
 * 2) Study Island—**SI Presenters**
 * 3) Google Docs/Dropbox or Box.Net/Office365-depending on which way you think we will be going. **SOITA Presenters.**

__Middle School Additional__ __Open to All__
 * 1) DynaCal—for scheduling labs. (**Kris Back**) or (Kris if she has time she can train me then we could do it jointly.
 * 1) Cowboy Tube (**Karen & Kris)**
 * 2) Discovery Education **(Karen & Kris)**
 * 3) Outlook---**SOITA** Focus on Personal Production Tools—Outlook, Distribution Lists, Shared Calendars
 * 4) Weebly for Primary Teachers **(Jane and Jen)**
 * 5) VuSafe—for Youtube Videos—I guess this is free—one of us would need to learn it to teach it.
 * 6) Video Lab Classes— (**Karen** **and Kris)**
 * 7) Web 2.0 Tools—**Jen, Jane, Karen, Kris**
 * 8) Blended Learning—**outside presenter (Ashland College Offering Courses)**
 * We may want to send out a concise list of offerings both online, webinars and offsite. That way they can do some learning on their own if they so desire.**
