From an email to the AO’s
Evolution Learning Technologies, our BCERAC partner for Smartboards, is providing a teacher, Sian Sladen, M.Ed, for April 29th to do two half-day inservices for our teachers using smartboards.
TS will cover the TOC costs for schools to send a staff member. I would ask AO’s to nominate one person from your school for this session. Rural participants will be covered for the full day and travel (UP, UH, Wonowon, Buick, Prespatou), and will have a break out room with another Smartboard available for them to work on in the afternoon, or they can attend the session again. Lunch will not be provided.
I would ask that the person nominated be:
- technologically proficient/experienced
- have some experience with the smartboard or at least a strong willingness to use them in the future
- will likely be remaining in your school next year (and hopefully for several years to come)
- willing to work collaboratively (willing to help train others on the Smartboard in the future)
Participants need to
- bring a laptop with Notebook 10.6 loaded before the inservice (if you need the software loaded on please create a work order and we will do it)
- if you can’t get them a laptop I can provide one if you let me know, but they should at least come with a thumb drive so they can save files they create
Please reply by email with who you would like to send and I will let you know early in April whether they are attending the morning/afternoon (full day for Rurals) session. Also could you please let me know if they need a laptop.
Thanks!
