For Staff and Our Community
TLC Tuesday/ PD Days
Several times during the school year, a whole PD day or a whole TLC Tuesday is dedicated to "tech", which we have now used to focus on following up with the Blended Learning rollout. This year's strand is ePortfolios.
Training/ Tutorials
Produced numerous tutorials to facilitate the use of tech tools and procedures on an online platform.
Parent Support
Educating parents is a key component in a successful tech rollout. Sessions are planned for parents: for parents new to Google Apps; for understanding Blended Learning at ASFM; for learning about Digital Citizenship, and any other need that arises.
