Online+Teacher+Training

Let's take the assignment tasks and realign them for the new teacher class: Maybe some assignments could be to add a folder to their home directory and name it a certain way and we go check that they did it. Later they have to go back rename the folder and move it to a new location? Maybe this is too much for us, but it sure would show us that they know what they are doing. Smartboard they have to create lessons and save to specific location? How about they set up folders in their home directory and move some files into them, then let us know what they did so we can check. This would be something they needed to do anyway. Print out their class lists, seating charts. Export them to Excel and save in H: Download a video file from United Streaming and save it to their H: drive. Convert a youtube file and save it to H:
 * 1) Agenda for first FTF of a Hybrid course (forget the CR one as NA) This would be a part of the New Teacher training the day before the rest of the staff return. Actually we could use the CR track because some will already have experience with Campus or projectors or ... so do we need an evaualtion of some kind to adcvise each person as to what they needed to do????
 * 2) Course Policies Expectation that all would work through the units and end up with the required skills.

Project Ideas.... 1 Converting teaching materials to digital format 2 Smartboard lessons 3 Making classroom materials available online 4 Classroom interactive devices 5 Prosper 6 Web2 apps 7 Other
 * 1) Course Targets and Calendar -
 * Logins of teacher and students by first student day or whenever accounts are created
 * Location of files by first student day and security issues
 * District technology contract by first student day
 * Basic Campus skills (attendance, class lists, seating chart) by 1st day for students
 * Basic data projector skills and announcements by end of first week
 * Basic Smartboard skills by end of second week (no Notebook just using touch screen)
 * Basic video skills by second week
 * classroom interactive devices by 3rd week
 * online resources by 3rd week
 * Pick one or two technology goals and incorporate them into your teaching by end of semester

I think we need to cover the district technology policies and guidelines day one. Also - looks like you have a 4 week course in mind. Works for me.
