2010 in review

This has been an interesting year for me. Marian and I have been doing more workshops. It seems that teachers need extended periods of time to work on projects. We do a half day workshop called "SMARTBoard Click A Long". In this workshop teachers make at least ten files using content from their exiting lessons to create interactive lessons. This workshop is generally rated 3.9/4.

We have also been doing "The Good, The BAd and The Ugly of SMARTBoards" It turns out this presentation is very similar to the learning path that is outlined in IWB Revolution.

I have also presented several introductory sessions and intermediate sessions this past year.

This past fall my school had 10 SMARTBoards installed and another 6 this spring. Every classroom will have a working SMARTBoard come fall. It has been very interesting as my staff make the journey from "Now What" to "It is not working, now what do I do?"

It has been the fastest adoption of any technology I have been part of. Very rewarding.
