Dunkirk LTG Teacher Testimonials

If you received support from one of the Technology Teacher Leaders this year, please tell us about your experience

• We had some initial training at the beginning of the year to prepare us for using google classroom and working in hybrid/remote instruction. This was a great starting point and gave me what I needed to feel confident and to get started.

• Well tailored to what I needed to learn; times were inconvenient and conflicted with the afterschool program

• Very informative, thorough . Most provided additional or supplemental resources to aid after class.

• Great mini workshops!

• Very accommodating

• Having tech leaders is a great idea. I wasn't able to attend any of their meetings, but did consult individually. Would like to see this continue.

• The teacher took the time to show me more about google.

• I benefited greatly from several Tech PD's from School 3 Tech leaders. They are amazing, patient and always ready to help me troubleshoot my problems when they occurred. School 4 tech leaders have also helped me access zoom. I think because I don't really use technology at home, and am not on social media, that my knowledge is rudimentary at best. I need on going PD to effectively use it in the classroom. That being said, I am not sure these programs are the best fit for an art room. At some point in their school day, children need to be away from the addiction of technology. The art room offers both complex problem solving and SEL support with project based lessons.

• I talk to other Tech leaders regularly to learn new ideas. They're all willing to share. I also coteach with one and learn new programs with her.

• I like how there was an opportunity to learn outside of the school day hours for it was accommodating to staff like myself who also teach the after school program.

• I like the videos that some of them made to showcase a program. This way I could watch it on my own time.

• 10/10 - excellent

• Great! I went to several sessions and felt comfortable going to them when I had questions. On the spot try to solve my problems or would investigate solutions for me.

• Yes, I have. She went above and beyond even when it was not during the scheduled times that were available.

• PD's were helpful and learner centered, Tech leaders were always available and willing to assist.

• The tech tips were super helpful!

• I teach in different buildings and all they tech leaders were helpful in trying to look up and find answers for my questions or directing me to someone for additional help. A+ all around.

• A teacher showed me how to use Jamboard, it went well I just don't use it enough to retain all of the information.

• It was a productive and positive experience and I learned new tips and tricks.

• The leaders were helpful and when they didn't know the answer to my question they found the answer. Very knowledgeable.

• I liked the materials that were sent by email so that we could use them as needed or not.
