I hope that you all walked away from our training with at least one new thing that you are going to try with your students. Please remember, I'm always available to help you troubleshoot problems, offer advice, and give feedback. I look forward to (hopefully) getting to spend more time with you at your wonderful school! Best of luck with the start of school and your Promethean boards.

Sincerely, Dev

I will use the answers you provided on the survey to guide my teaching. The Promethean system is overwhelmingly huge, offering resources online, software, and hardware. My advice is to take it one piece at a time, get completely secure with that one piece, then move on to learning something new.=====

On this site you will find digital copies of all the resources provided during this training. You will also be taught how to access this wiki for publication purposes so you can add your own resources and ideas to the site. This is a great place to share flipcharts you have made, strategies that have worked or didn't work with the Promethean Boards, and the general joys/woes of integrating technology into your classrooms.=====
