Description
As a STEP team we developed an Introduction to Google Documents for February's professional development. We created a handout with step by step directions for the staff members to complete a Google Form before the start of the professional development. We then reviewed the results with them. After this step, we introduced sharing collaborative planning documents using a power point.
Reflection
After the staff-wide training, team members trained staff individually during collaborative planning sessions. Because the AVPs were due from our students last week, we have not been meeting in collaborative planning for three weeks. We will soon see what, if anything, was retained. Overall, I think the teachers were excited about the idea of using Google docs. They would be more consistent if the technology in the building were reliable.
