=Teaching Technology to colleagues:=

I taught a teacher that was new ot our district this year how to utilize the Achievement Series program.

The first thing that I had to do was to make sure that usernames and passwords were obtained from the Technology Coorindator to get started. After that we made sure the particular class was added that we would create a test for. Then we went and added the students to this class. The next thing was to create a test. This took at least a couple of times to meet before it was completed. Then we printed out a paper form to double check for any typos. We scheduled and activated the test and kept track of the test#. Before administering the test I had the teacher print off a roster from DDN to make sure they were armed with student IDs in case they forgot their number.

The teacher really liked how successful it was to administer and instantly receive the results of the test. It was the time consuming task up front in creating the test that was a bit of a turn off. The teacher did say they would probably occasionally utilize the program in the future only because of the time consuming task of inputting everything.

Just a note: Another teacher heard about the wiki that I utilized with this unit in my computer class from a student and asked if I would assist them next fall in helping them set one up for one of their classes. I most definitely will.
