5TTT participants are wrapping it up for the year. Congratulations to those who managed to finish or are about to do so despite all the demands of our jobs. Thanks to those who tried out a few tools but couldn't find the time to complete the program. Please note that the final instruction for posting your Screencast on the Park Center 5TTT channel has been made optional, as I didn't provide adequate instructions. You need to be start your screencast from the channel page for it to be saved on a given channel.
We are planning to provide a similar staff technology training program at Park Center again next year, and hope that you will consider joining us again to apply your new skills to your practice and to learn a few more. Next year, one of the tools will be learning to use iPads. We will be allowing staff to check out iPads this summer to begin to get familiar with their use. Let Dhaivyd know if you are interested in getting on the advanced list for checking one out. I hope to see many of you at 2:15 on May 23 for the awards ceremony at our afternoon staff meeting. You are now qualified as technology leaders for the school. Again, congratulations.
The Technology Teaching Tools program allows staff to learn about new technology tools that might be useful in their work. Participants can complete the requirements for each tool on their own by the day of the next month's optional lab time. Lab times are on Mondays, 8:05am-2:15pm for the 2012-13 school year: 10/29; 11/26; 12/17; 1/14; 2/25; 3/18; 4/15; and 5/20. Completing a tool can take as little as one hour. There are nine tools.
