Dell Training: Day 1 Agenda and Notes

Update: 7/5/10

Atomic Learning Assessment
Harla will be sending you an email with the atomic learning assessment. All teachers will be completing this survey and this is the first agenda item for the our training.

Training Resources 
I am working on putting together the training on a Google Doc. It can be found linked through the tab above, Agenda. This is work in progress, and it will be cleaned up before use.

2 Hours of Paid Planning
If you were unable to attend the work session and would like to put in your two hours of paid planning, please check the blog throughout the weekend for a list of contributions, then sign up to let me know you are taking this on. If not, that's okay too. Enjoy your weekend and get ready for Dell Training next week!

If you are working on one of the prep work tasks, please comment to let me and anyone else working on this know.

Training Planning Session: Wed. 1-3

The 1st floor conference room has been reserved from 1:00-3:00 for the purposes of planning the training sessions we will be facilitating. If you would like to participate, please bring your Dell. The room is a bit small, but we will divide the work into groups based on the agenda below. Each group will focus on one of the clearly defined goals. Please think about how you can best contribute to the overall success of the Dell Training. Do you have an area of expertise or enthusiasm for one of the topics below, or do you have a skill that would be useful to any group? Sorry to be predictable, but I will formally collect this information in a form as a startup task prior to our work tomorrow.

A tab at the top of this page has been created for viewing the agenda and linked documents from our work session.

News: June 29th

Notes
Did you take notes yesterday? I've started a google doc for us to share for our notes. Feel free to copy and paste your valuable notes into this one document. You can find it in your list of Google Docs, labeled New. It will get messy, that is expected.

Sign in
I setup a sign in form for our use yesterday. Please sign in for both dates attended using the form in the sidebar of the blog.

Training Schedule
There are some dates available, but some are pending enrollment. If you would like to pickup another session, please email me with the dates.
