Initial Training: Online Training Course

Description

ExploreLearning's online initial training course is designed to prepare teachers to use Gizmos immediately in their classrooms. An experienced ExploreLearning trainer leads you through an online training experience that includes demonstration, guided instruction, and hands-on work with ExploreLearning.com and Gizmos.

Format

The online course was a superb idea!...The weekly web conferences have really helped everyone feel like a part of the group and get into discussion around curriculum. AWESOME!

Our three-week facilitated, online training course is a virtual alternative to onsite training. The total time commitment for participants is typically 8-12 hours spread over the three-week duration of the course.

The course begins with participants learning the major features and functions of the ExploreLearning website with a focus on the Teacher Home Page. Next, teachers learn how to design differentiated lessons incorporating Gizmos and ExploreLearning.com's assessment tools. The teachers' new skills are then integrated into their classroom practice and experiences are shared via online discussion forums and weekly web conferences.

Expected Outcomes

Online course participants will:

  • Learn to navigate ExploreLearning.com
  • Customize their Teacher Homepage and learn to enroll students
  • Work “hands-on” with three or more Gizmos
  • Employ research-based teaching strategies with Gizmos
  • Create standards-based lessons incorporating Gizmos

Typical Customer Profile

Online initial training workshops are designed for ExploreLearning customers who wish to get Gizmos off to a strong start in their schools and for whom face-to-face training is not a viable option.
