I am sorry this took so long to post. It's been a crazy few weeks! Hopefully better late than never. Thank you for all of the great respences I recieved! -Erica ***************** W have lot of teching mterials on our web site. Go to the media.technology section of the Winona Middle School home page; http://wms.luminet.net Erica Thorsen, Library Media Specialist **************** We've done inservices for technology at our school. The worst case would be to set up several courses in one day. Teachers were exposed to a lot, but minimal time for hands on.......not many people remembered anything a week later. We're (the tech committee) now doing inservices on a "come on in" basis every other Tuesday afternoon. The first Tuesday is scheduled (for example Power Point). The second Tuesday is free. Teachers let us know what they want, and we prepare small/one on one sessions for them-caters more to their particular needs.No agenda, no syllabus-just kinda flying by the seat of our pants, but we are hoping to set up a scope/sequence for skills we'd like the teachers and students to know......that isn't set in stone...or even on paper yet! **************** We are going to have an in-service next Friday at our school over different technologies that we have available. This will be our first attempt so not sure if it will be successful. We have different teachers that are more familiar with certain programs: i.e. MicroSoft Word, Printmaster Gold, Winnebago, InfoTrac, etc. They will be instructing others who have signed up. We have the day split into about 4-5 sessions (which I can tell already is not enough time but it is a start) We have went to in-service that include all of the schools in our area but have always come away with thinking that a majority of the day did not pertain to our particular needs. That is why ours next Friday will be an attempt to give our teachers hands on with programs that we have available. **************** Yes, I taught an in service coursecalled Information Technologies. I covered keyword searching, boolean logic, all the databases which we had access to in the library. The final project was for each teacher to design a research project for a class they were teaching which would make use of the majority of research tools covered. Teachers liked the course and some of them became more frequent library users.
