“Tech Tool Time” Changes for Staff

• Then
• 30-minute, once a month required Tech session
• Sit and get
• Minimal differentiation
• All had to attend
• Here’s a tool, use it

• Now
• Pre-test offers test out option
• Focus this year on Google Apps
• More hands on
• Discussion
• Differentiation based on needs of staff so not all staff have to ‘sit through a training’
