today I was able to meet with the principals in our district to show them the world of Google. I use part of the same presentation I gave to the high school staff in early February. This was different because I was not going to be teaching them how to use Google but just get them into the world of what Google Apps is and how it can be used.
there was great discussion about how it can be used and what it can do for productivity and students. What I didn't have a clear picture of at the end of the session what who and how. I get that people need training and time. I know not everyone is going to spend their own time/money to learn everything Google like I did. I find it interesting that they don't attend tech training, or even WORSE they come and they do absolutely nothing with what they learned.
Is it because:
a) they didn't learn anything new
b) they didn't learn anything
c) they don't know how to use what was demonstrated in their own classroom
d) they don't have they technology support needed to use these tools
e) all of the above
This is what keeps me thinking about what to do to help pull people forward. The early adopters are on the train and we are pulling out the station, I am concerned for my peers who car is not even at the train station to get a ticket to board.
Anyone have any ideas?
