[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would like the districts to train teachers on optimal online learning, since it will likely be the default next school year. My kids complain that it's boring and that none of the teachers, except one, know how to use technology to teach. With some strategies in hand, it would be make classroom learning much more rewarding and engaging. [/quote]

I am a teacher and would love training on online learning and engagement.  In class I do a good job of having kids do activities and projects and run a really student centered classroom.  I have no idea how to translate those to online learning, and the attempts I've made to do so fell flat.  I would love to know how to make it more interesting![/quote]
I wouldn’t. The trainings they put together are terrible. The last training I went to was a literacy training. They spent the entire morning (4 hours) talking about why it’s important to learn to read-duh? Why would any of these people be here if they didn’t already agree? 
They rushed through the actual implementation of the program because there was only an hour and a half left after lunch. They had no time to explain things adequately and skipped over slide after slide and were basically like “Cool, now you’re certified in this program! Good luck with the kids, we’ll be collecting your data.” Every  training I’ve been to has followed a similar pattern. Figuring things out on my own is a thousand times more productive. [/quote]
