Technology+Trainings+Fall+2009

Technology Trainings at NASC We plan to offer the three trainings during first trimester, about every other week, so that staff can receive trainings in a timely manner and use the technology the rest of the year. We plan to offer a before and after school training for each training, depending on any schedule changes the Board approves that might affect the start / stop times of school. · Training offered week of August 10-14 so that staff can use if they wish for the Back-to-School Night. ( Ladies, which day do we want to schedule this? Monday, Tuesday? ) · Each staff member is to check out a CoolPix camera and take a couple of pictures of themselves, their family, their class, etc. Or option to download pictures from their own camera. Save pictures in a designated file on staff g:drive. Lauren will help any teachers that are not familiar with the CoolPix camera. · During training, show staff how to start a new PhotoStory, import pictures, add titles, transitions, effects and music background. · Final PhotoStory can then be used on Back-to-School night. Will play in common areas during the evening so parents can see pictures of staff, etc.
