From IU 1 Mara Linaberger says: At IU1 we do an induction workshop for year 2 teachers on Google Tools - its called "Growing with Google" (we keep adding new tools to the choices as we go and as they become available). Its run as small group inquiry and has web links out for each of the tools for teachers to self-train on the tools they choose. It is loosely a "web quest" - although there aren't specific questions to be answered, because the teachers identify their own questions/needs and take their learning from there.

From Mara Linaberger: Great discussion on the iPad everyone! Next Friday we will be launching an iPad pilot with 48 art, music and theatre teachers at IU1 as part of our ArtsEducator 2.0 project. You can read about our inquiry and preparation done this summer to get some practice in, and to think through some of the logistics these folks might face this fall with their own pad here: http://artsedtech.wordpress.com/ Our thinking was to have the teachers use the iPad as a personal tool first, then move to them as a tool for instruction. The logical step for some may be to then take the tool into student use while others may stick to it as an instructional tool. We'll be documenting our project online here.
