• W344058013 abstract "Many school districts nationwide share a common dilemma: a critical need for technology training and a critical shortage of appropriate training resources. Districts typically lack qualified trainers, and K-12 teachers usually lack the time to learn new technical skills. But at the Alamo Heights Independent School District (AHISD) in San Antonio, Texas, we have solved this problem by developing and delivering Internet-based learning modules that teachers can access on their own time. We are finding that teachers who are reluctant or somewhat challenged in their technology skills are more willing to do the Web-based tutorials than to participate in other forms of training. Within a 9.4-square-mile radius, a four-person instructional technology team serves five AHISD campuses, including hundreds of K-12 teachers, paraprofessionals and administrative staff. The instructional technology team is using Macromedia Breeze to simplify and streamline staff training. The technology enables the team to create and deliver multimedia training and instructional content to both staff and students online. The modules have a standard structure--opening, objective, instruction and practice--so that learners know what to expect. Breeze also automatically provides the option of flexible navigation in lessons, so learners can easily control their progress through a lesson. This allows students to skip content they know and jump directly to what they want to learn, saving precious time. In addition, all of the district's campuses feature Technology Happy Hours, which are 45-minute face-to-face training sessions based on specific needs. AHISD's technology staff provides a blend of in-person technology integration training, as well as online training and support. As a result, more educators are participating in professional development--with more than 85% of the district's faculty having used the online training. Breeze enhances an already familiar format--the Microsoft Power Point presentation. Therefore, users can turn simple presentations into interactive multimedia content for presentations and lessons by using wizards from the Breeze menu right within PowerPoint. They can also add highly synchronized narrations, quiz and survey questions, animations, and Flash videos. Subsequently, users can publish their learning content to the Breeze server, converting the slides and multimedia into the Flash format for access via standard Web browsers. Since the Flash Player is already embedded in 98% of Web browsers, virtually anyone can access these multimedia presentations without having to download a large file or plug-in. Since the process is fast and versa the, a user can identify a problem and have a training presentation ready in just a few hours. An instructional technology specialist at one of the district's campuses can publish the presentation on the Internet and immediately send teachers an e-mail telling them what it is and where to find it. It is even possible to monitor which teachers and staff members have completed the training. Web Tutorials Our district's instructional technology staff is also using Breeze to develop e-videos--short tutorials on how to use district applications for attendance and grades. Faculty may view the tutorials from home, the classroom or anywhere they have Web access. They can also repeat the instruction as much as they need or jump to specific sections to quickly refresh their memory. In addition, learners don't need broadband Web access since the files are small and Flash-based, which increases the level of teacher acceptance. For example, AHISD's IT staff created four tutorials for GradeSpeed.NET, the district's online gradebook and attendance program. …" @default.
