What kind of training is being provided to teachers?
The Massachusetts College of Liberal Arts coordinates professional development for teachers, working closely with the technical staff in the schools and with Apple Computer. Teachers have had many opportunities to learn how to use the laptop computers. Professional development sessions led by district technology integration specialists, by educational consultants, and by Apple Computer have helped teachers to learn how to integrate applications such as Word, Excel, MacJournal, and I-Photo into their teaching. Ongoing cross-district project meetings enable teachers to share their new learning with one another.
