Instructional+Documents

=Instructional Documents= On this page you will find examples of the work I have done in creating instructional documents for using technology. I believe that most people better assimilate information that is organized and concise, uses graphics, and is chunked into meaningful steps.

Online Etiquette for Instructors was created in my Designing Online Courses class. I enhanced the document by using examples from my experiences in online learning.

This document was created to help the new teachers in my building assimilate the available technology quickly and easily into their classroom organization and learning. It was so popular with my new teachers that technology liaisons on other campuses asked to use it.

This is an example of "just-in-time" training that I often do for staff. When a staff member needs a little extra help or a quick reference for a piece of technology, I will quickly create a document for them, then keep that document on file for others in the future that might have the same questions.

New technology is exciting, but in the K-12 environment there is often very little time to train teachers. By creating a reference document for the staff, those who are able can quickly learn to use the technology. I always extend the offer to do one-on-one training for those who are a little more hesitant about learning new technology. In this way, I am meeting the different learning needs of the staff as a whole.

[|How To Video] Instructional video is also helpful for those learning technology. Atomic Learning and Teacher Tube have a wonderful selection of learning videos. When they do not meet the needs, using software such as Camtasia or Camstudio allows me to create an instructional video that will illustrate the information I need to share.
