Why Administrators need to attend.

Have you been investing in interactive classroom technology? Can you tell if it is being utilized effectively? It is easy to walk into a classroom and see that a teacher has something displayed on the SMART Board interactive whiteboard. But how do you really assess what type of learning is taking place?

Our goal is to help you learn ways to evaluate and shape your school’s or district’s use of the interactive classroom. You will investigate ways to further integrate and evaluate the use of the SMART Board, Notebook™ software, as well as additional educational technologies. You will explore ways to help your teachers plan and design interactive learning environments, how to assess student learning…and so much more.

How Teachers will benefit.

Would you like to fully engage your students with the latest interactive classroom technology and teaching methods? Are you completely comfortable with the technology and use it seamlessly in your lessons? Are you able to take full advantage of your students’ tech-savvy and create a continuum of learners?

In subject-specific courses you will learn how to effectively integrate your SMART Board interactive whiteboard into classroom instruction while exploring new, innovative lesson ideas. Within a subject area, quickly acquire new SMART Board skills and techniques that promote enthusiasm for learning and raise the level of student engagement. Choose from Mathematics, English Language Arts (ELA), Art, Foreign Language, Science, and Social Studies.
