 * About the Team: **

//Vicki Boltja:// Hello, my name is Vicki Boltja. I am an #|Intervention Specialist at Highland Local __#|Schools__. This is my 14th year of teaching. I am the mother of 3 daughters ages 20, 22 and 23

//Emily Ellison:// Hi! My name is Emily Ellison and I am an __#|Intervention Specialist__ at Groveport Madison Local __#|Schools__, located in southeast Columbus. I am a native of Akron and moved to Columbus four years ago for my first __teaching job__. I am a Mac lover and enjoy reading/exploring new features and always look for ways I can incorporate the technology in my classroom.

//Cassie Neumann//: I'm in my fifth year of teaching theatre and fine arts at Brunswick High School. In addition to teaching and directing theatre at the high school, I am also an active actor and director in the Cleveland theatre scene.

//Sharon Caine// : I am an Instructional Coach at the Positive Education Program under ESCCC. I was an interventionist for 33 years before becoming a coach to support SED teachers in all subject areas from grades K-12th. As a SMART __Certified Trainer__, Ambassador for the Ohio Resource Center and Thinkfinity, my focus is in helping teachers explore how to integrate technology into their classrooms.

**Solution**: Create a Wiki page for the teachers to review tutorials, review sample __#|lesson plans__ that have been integrate with technology, provide templates for technology integration planning, and create a forum for teachers to help each other through the process. ||
 * **Instructional Design Problem ** ||
 * **Problem:** A Cleveland area school was awarded __#|grant money__ #|for technology, and now they are #|training teachers and trying to implement the use of technology. The problem being the technology came before a plan was made for how it would be used.
 * **SME**:Dr. Felicia Fago ||

<span style="background-color: #ffffff; color: #000080; font-family: Tahoma,Geneva,sans-serif;">Please add any question or comment in response to our presentation below. Feel free to add __more__ rows if needed. 2. The consistent theme from the teachers seemed to be the lack of time and training. Was there an overall plan for how they should take advantage of the new wiki in terms of setting goals or a certain pace? || 1. We went back in and redid how we posted somethings. For others we had to go to IT to get help with parameters. It helped to have people try the wiki out before we sent it to everyone.SC 2.As teachers meet individually for literacy /instruction issues, we discuss the technology adn set a goal. The wiki will be added to as requests or materials are submitted. This then is an ongoing site that will change with __teacher__ needs.SC One of the problems we encountered was the TPACK photo that could not be viewed on the computers the teachers were using. We changed the HD image to a lower resolution JPEG to address this issue. || It was because they had never used one, but once they saw it there was no problem. SC ||

 * Barbara Hornick || Great job on the project! The wiki has a lot of resources/information in it. You covered a lot of different areas with links to resources, making it a definite "go-to" wiki for learning. || 1. You mentioned that some teachers had problems with the wiki because of outdated __#|computers__. What were the problems and how did you address these?
 * Jessica Warstler || I really enjoyed your project. My favorite part of your project was that you #|completed two surveys. I think this provided more information to consider and more feedback to work with to perfect your solution. || Were you concerned when only 66% of the teachers in the first survey said they would use access a wiki to learn? || At first it felt like an added step we would need to apply to our process, but with one of our team members working one on one with the teachers to assist it did not present much of a problem! We did choose to add a video on the basics of a wiki as an added resource for teachers to have a better idea of the value a wiki could have on collaboration. ~Emily
 * Brandy Cash || You ladies did a fantastic job!! I really enjoyed going through your presentation and I really like the fact that you used prezi. I think you have given those teachers a great stepping stone to begin their journey through this ever changing world of technology. I think it would be neat to have a pilot run and resurvey the same teachers to see how they feel after given the wiki and resources. || Were concerns of a school wide filter ever brought up? Meaning were there certain sites found that teachers were unable to visit at school? I know our school is ridiculous, and we can't even get on any wikispaces, blogs, or social media. This may frustrate teachers especially if they are new to this. || I had checked with IT before we started to get the site URL as an accepted one.SC

I made sure to choose videos or use multimedia that was accepted by most filters (ie: using TeacherTube over YouTube) to cut down on blocked sites. -Cassie || 2) Does the school plan to keep track and monitor the use of technology going on in lessons? || Sharon plans on keeping up with the wiki as part of her field experience and to create PD sessions for the teachers in the schools she works in. ~Emily Istarted the first in person one last Thursday and will hol another this coming Thursday. Then it'll be follow up ones as needed.SC Lessons will be tracked and the next step will to make sure TPACK and SMAR are in plkace for next year.SC || The wiki isfor their own use in designing lesssons with the only product being there own lesson or activity. Follow-up sessions will be at individual buildings or hopefully through sharing computer screens due to the distancebetween all buildings. Time is a great issue. SC That was a concern. The team addressed this and other concerns to the extent we could. Teachers can access the wiki as the plan their lessons at their own pace. It is not a perfect solution but I feel we addressed it to the extent we could by providing this site. VB || Although the technology was already chosen, our team focused on the principles of TPACK. We tried to design our site to encourage teachers to integrate technology into the lessons they are planning and to assist them in using the technology available to them. VB || Beluscak || Looks great. Love the flow of the presentation.Your wiki site looks great and is easy to access. I understand how hard it is to create a wiki that doesn't scare off other. But you did a great job. || Did you every think about incorporating a wiki style similar to cooltoolsforschool (wiki page)? || We will check it out. Thanks SC || For a field experience, I might be working with a friend who is a fifth grade teacher. She told me that she is using her SmartBoard as just a projector. I plan to send her the link to your wiki, so she can get some ideas. I know how to use the magic pen and show/hide screen features. I love using SmartBoards, but teachers have to be "smart" about using them in the right way!! || Reading through your wiki, I didn't know what PEP teachers were or what TCs were. On the page where you had the templates, I had a little bit of trouble initially finding them at the bottom of the page. You have linked text for "lesson plan template" and "sample lesson plan" at the top. When I clicked those links, nothing happened. Finally, I noticed that it said they were at the bottom. Just something to think about and perhaps move them to the top of the page for easier access. || Thanks for the suggestion. We will take a look at it. VB ||
 * Chris Pashke || Great job ladies. I know from being on several technical assistant visits to the Cleveland school that technology is a major concern. Lack of updated equipment and in on case equipment sitting in a corner in pieces and never set up to use. Teacher felt students would destroy the equipment and did not want to monitor it. It was difficult to get them to see that the equipment would help in their teaching and classroom disipline. || 1) Do you know if the school has some kind of plan in place to update equipment and maintain the equipment?
 * Teresa Potter || Your wiki looks really nice. I think the Wikispaces interface has a tendency to be a little cluttered sometimes, but your design seems very intuitive. || In your needs assessment it seems like the biggest thing the teachers asked for was time. While they need training, if they don't have time or hands-on support, their ability to complete the self-paced activities would be hindered. While I know it's hard for grad students to ask the Cleveland school district for an in service day to train all their students, did you take this desire for time to learn into consideration when building your project? || There were 2 half day sessions scheduled, one took place already. 30 minute end-of-the day ones are being put in place, Teachers were given the product code to install at home so that they can create lesssons. We are trying this form of training because getting time in the school day or year is difficult.SC
 * Chrissy DiSpina || I think you did a great job. This task could have been very overwhelming but you turned into a manageable project. Nice prezi and video! ||  || At first it was overwhelming, but it really helped to clarify our learning goal and then break that down even further into specific tasks. -Cassie
 * Alzana Nuzzolillo || What a nice presentation! It seems that you really put together a great learning resource for these teachers! I believe your plan to teach and use the concept of TPACK was a great idea. || 1. How did the process of recording screens work for your observation of the thought process? || It worked well. I could see whre they chose to go and how they were able to follow links. The page recorder on the Notebook tapes whatever is done on the screen. I could tell where they went to first, so we knew that the tutorials on the wiki were used by all. These kinds of things let us know what was usefull and filled in what I didn't catch in my notes.SC ||  ||
 * Blake
 * Dr. Ward || An excellent project supported by a very functional smooth team process. This team had the added challenge of a pre-determined technology which they handled very well with the SME. A great contribution to the field. ||  ||   ||
 * Jaclyn Peterson || I really enjoyed your wiki. I think it will be a great resource for teachers to use to help them to find ideas to add technology into their classroom. || Have the teachers every used the resource smart exchange? I use that in my classroom a lot and it has been a great resource for me. || Yes and there were lessons that could be adapted. SC ||
 * Nick Martin || I really liked your Prezi presentation! I definitely need to learn how to do my own Prezi!
