Teachers-
We are putting together the curriculum for the 9th grade
tech training in August. We will be teaching Moodle and Google as they relate
to iPads We will cover reading and note-taking features on the
iBook . We also will teach Digital Citizenship which covers online
behavior, including behavior in the classroom, honesty policies, Turnitin, and
social media. The students have been directed to buy Adobe Reader and
Notability, and we will teach basics of using these tools . Students will have
purchased Keynote, Pages and Quick Office Pro HD, and iMovie, so we will do
some basic practice in those programs.
What do you think is important for them to know? What should
we emphasize? Are there apps which you like and are planning to use?
Please post herewith your requests/ concerns.
Freshmen teachers, we especially would like to hear from you
if you've given the subject some thought.
Present Freshmen teachers-- was there something we missed
during last year's training?
Thanks for your input! Normally I have comment moderation
on, as I use this blog mainly as a repository of good ideas for my own benefit
and use, but I turned it off so you can comment without restriction.
