    Computer Use Survey
  2. Please fill out the KWL chart at this link, too (you need a Google account to do this and may have to wait your turn to access the document):
    Mac Workshop KWL
  3. Feeling a bit intimidated and afraid of making many bloopers during our workshop? Lighten up by reading this!

A Volunteer is needed to intermittently note questions on a Q&A Page to be further researched---a prize for the first volunteer!

What We'll Attempt to Cover Over 3 Days

The focus of this three day workshop is to familiarize participants with the actual use of their District-assigned computer.
Participants should leave at a comfort level that will enable them to start using their device to begin integrating technology into their curriculum area. As we progress, the "temperature of the room" will dictate how much we actually cover.
  • The Hardware
  • The System
  • Some "Onboard" Programs
  • Some Simple Projects
  • Integration Ideas For Your Classroom
There may be many, many, other questions you have related to computer use and integrating this technology into your classrooms and curriculum areas that the scope of the workshop will not allow us to address. We will note these questions and/or concerns on the Q & A page to try to address them after the workshop.
