=Welcome to the ActivInspire and Promethean Board Training Wiki= ====The 21st Century Interactive Classroom Expansion adopted by Montgomery County Public Schools in 2008, has placed a focus on creating classroom environments where students can construct their own learning through collaborative activities. This initiative has provided easy access to Promethean Boards for all teachers in their classrooms. However, in order for teachers to feel comfortable utilizing this tool, proper training is necessary. MCPS has paid to provide all educators in the district to have access to ActivInspire software both in their classrooms and at home.====

====This eight day workshop will focus on improving teacher use of Promethean Boards their own classrooms to create activities and lessons that will enhance student learning. ActivInspire, Microsoft Office Products, and Web 2.0 tools will all be integrated and used by workshop attendees, and they will leave with many examples and lessons that can be used in their own classroom and as models for future lessons they develop. Time for break-out groups with grade level or content-specific teams will be provided throughout the workshop in order for educators to gain the benefit of collaboration with colleagues.====

This workshop is open to all teachers in the district.
