Mr. Midden was forthright and honest in his presentation.  He presented the strengths and weaknesses he has encountered and helped everyone feel a bit more able to be a risk taker when presenting in front of our own classes.

Hands on practice.  It was a lot of information to digest at one time.  I look forward to learning more.  It was helpful to have people walking around while we were in our rooms to help.

9. Suggestions for improvement include:

 
More time for the tutorial.  More practice time.
 1 (4%) 
 
 
Possibly not so much the first day.  I know it was probably necessary, but a bit overwhelming!
 1 (4%) 
 
 
Maybe we could have had the tutorial links to explore before the initial presentation.  If we had had a little prior experirence with the technology it would have helped us to accomodate new learning more readily,
 1 (4%) 
 
 
More training needed - longer session (full day vs. half day)
 1 (4%) 
 
 
More time would always be helpful.
 1 (4%) 
 
 
 1 (4%) 
 
 
 1 (4%) 
 
 
We just need more time to learn how to use it and all the tools.
 1 (4%) 
 
 
We had so much to cover I don't think this type of presentation can be done better.

have different levels of instruction.  i know i might i be a special case, but this was too basic for me. 
 1 (4%) 
 
 
 1 (4%) 
 
 
More time to "play" with the activboards while support people are available to assist.  After doing the tutorials, I did not have enough time to use the activboard before needing to meet back with the small group.

More time
 1 (4%) 
 
 
More time is needed to learn about all the "extras".
 1 (4%) 
 
 
Somewhat overwhelming, but with small steps, it is quite understandable.  I would like to see some more time built into "playing" with it.

It was very informative.  I wish I would have had more information on paper to help when I was trying things on my own.  A short tip sheet like we have for STI may be helpful.
 1 (4%) 
 
 
I love the Activboard and so does my class!
 1 (4%) 
 
 
Having professional development classes/opportunities after school is a really good idea for those who want or need more practice or who have specific questons reagarding instructional activities they're putting together.

I would like one day to do hands-on activities with staff that can assist or explain any questions that might arise while creating an activity/flipchart for my classroom.
