Today, I'm holding a training session on using Google Drive, Chrome, assisting students as they login for the first time, and other bits and pieces that teachers may have questions about. I'm hoping it will be a great experience and opportunity for me to show teachers how to best use these tools in the classroom. The apprehension I have is that I've sent them an invite to the event on Microsoft Outlook, and I've heard NO replies. No 'accepts', no 'declines', not even any 'tentatives'. I hope they're getting the information. That may be one of the things we need to keep working on here at school. We have SO many ways to communicate with our teachers, our staff, our parents and our students that it can become overwhelming at times. I'm never quite sure what the best way to get information out to them is. I'll let you know how the tech talk goes after the break.
Update: 9:50 AM
Well, I had two teachers come to the session. I really appreciate Brandon's and Jesse's desire to hear what their ole tech coach had to say. I think they learned a few things and we had some laughs too.
My concern is: Where were the rest of the teachers? I know one had other engagements, and I'm sure that the low numbers was simply due to the communication of the meeting time/opportunity. I sent an email request, but how many of them actually checked their email yesterday or today. This prompts me to do my next idea: create a survey to gather data about the best way to get information out to teachers! Hopefully that goes well. God's Peace!
