I teach technology at a grade school. I have 2 projects I’ve done in different years. One is to write a letter to a child who will come in to that grade telling them what that grade will be like. I give them some guidelines, like your 3 favorite things, what you need to know about the teacher, something that will be a challenge. The teacher can use that at meet the teacher day, or the first day of school.
The 2nd project I’ve done is “3 Words”. Students pick 3 words to tell upcoming students about the grade. For example: Do Your Homework, Mrs. Smith Rocks, Tell the Truth. You can take a picture of the student with their words, and make it into a book or a slide show.
Dov Campbell on 21 Apr 10Summer technology training for teachers with over 75% enrollment in 2009!
fcsdjc on 21 Apr 10Agreed. Paying teachers to participate would probably help. He also has 10 different teachers who have been trained via PLP and are in a position to hold the workshops. Not sure what the trainers get paid per workshop.
Josh Weisgrau on 21 Apr 10That's a great program. I wonder even with a stipend how many of our faculty would actually attend.
