Feedback Form Comments from March 2005 Conference Day

What additional information or staff development would be useful?

Microsoft Word in the Elementary Classroom

·         Just more opportunity to get info and practice use

·         Please offer this again

·         I would like a technology seminar where teachers bring in tasks they need to produce on the computer and we are taught to type out document on the computer

·         Microsoft Publisher Workshop

Using Microsoft Excel to Display Data

·         Perhaps a better look at calculating student performance via grades and what Excel could do for

             the teacher and student would be beneficial

·         I would like to know more about the functions you can do in Excel

·         Continue where we left off with additional Excel information

Digital Images

·         Time to work with Photoshop as a group

·         Apply to classroom, newsletters, teachers

·         More practice

·         Another scanner would have been helpful

·         A second class with more detailed info (more time needed)

·         Everyone should get training on this

·         More time to work together

·         More time to play

Web Design

·         What can NVCS do to have Kathleen take us further with web page design? We know the teacher Center is supporting her.

·         Hopefully the class through the Teacher’s Center

·         It would be great to use this time (maybe 2 sessions in 1 day) to offer each teacher the time and direction to create a website for their class with individual homework/ class information particulars.  It seemed like this was what everyone wanted.  After this 1 ½ hr. class I think we could have done this but more fine-tuning time would be wonderful.  I believe individual class websites would have an immediate/large impact on district/public relations perceptions.

·         It would be great to be able to NOW utilize the knowledge – have the time to create my website. Another 1.5 hrs. would have been very useful while info fresh in my mind.

·         Having the software to practice on or actually use

·         Software so we can really make a page

MarcoPolo

·         Just time to work with the programs

Excel

·         A follow-up of this

·         Would like some follow-up

·         Sheets with directions
