LWI2

LWI2 (Learn With It, Leave With It) with SOITA at the Springfield City School District //(Please read through this page prior to registering!)//  Last updated June 27, 2012 at 3:22pm These hands-on workshops are for regular classroom teachers and Intervention Specialists who DO NOT have one of these tech tools in their classroom for the upcoming school year. These workshops are provided in conjunction with SOITA who will conduct the workshops within the Springfield City School District. After attending the workshops, teachers will have the tool and supporting software installed in their classroom for their use for the upcoming school year. All hardware and software remains the property of the District and will be assigned to the school building and classroom of the participant. Building Principals will need to confirm that the tool you are signing up to be trained on and receive is currently NOT in the classroom you are assigned to and that there WILL be a data/Video(LCD or DLP) Projector assigned to that room as well. LWI2 tools will not be installed nor given to the building if the teacher already has the tool present in their assigned room.


 * This project provided the following tools and training across the district:**

SMART Boards - Qty. 30, Model SB 660, Wall mount ready; 6 hrs of training ELMO Doc Cams - Qty. 12, ELMO Model tt-02rx or tt-12; 3 hrs of training SMART Response PE Kits - Qty. 6, SMART Response PE (32 Clickers)

PARTICIPANTS MUST REGISTER & ATTEND A LWI 2 Class (LWI2 will be in the class name when registering) to receive the tech tool; regular Summer Technology Institute Workshop participants will NOT receive the tool for their classroom by attending regular Summer Technology Institute classes!

The SMART Board and ELMO Doc Cams classes are for individual teachers. ALL three of these tools require the use of a computer and a data/video projector which are not provided with these workshops. If you do not have a projector, please check with your principal! The cost for a projectors is about $500. The SMART Response Clickers require participants to be teams of 2-4 teachers from the same building who will share the 32 Clicker SMART Response PE Kit. EACH Teacher in that team must have a Projector dedicated to their room as well.

Teachers who have proof that they have taken a Springfield City School's SMART Board Boot Camp class(6 hours) within the past year (June 2011 or more recently) can elect to take 6 hrs of more advanced SMART Board training to receive a SMART Board instead of repeating the 6 hour introductory class again. Those teachers MUST STILL register for 1 of the sessions in order to be guaranteed the SMART Board!!


 * Teachers must sign themselves up via the online registration link below; seats will not be held at the request of principals or other administrators nor is bulk registration of teachers allowed.**

The first 30 teachers who register online that are eligible for the SMART Boards will be given seats in the training pending confirmation from their principal or supervisor that their room is lacking that tool AND that a Projector will be assigned to that room. The first 12 teachers who register for the ELMO Doc Cam Training will be given seats in the training pending confirmation from their principal or supervisor that their room is lacking that tool AND that a Projector will be assigned to that room. If a registered teacher does not take the class they registered for, they will no longer be registered to receive the training nor the tool and the first person on the wait list will be offered the seat and the tool for their classroom upon completing the training. That teacher may enroll in a future session as long as that tech tool is still available otherwise they will be placed at the bottom of the waiting list when they re-register.

In case a class session becomes full, any registrants will offered a seat in the other workshop if seats still remain or placed on a wait list in the order they registered. If there is interest beyond the initial 30 SMART Boards, 12 ELMO Doc Cams and the 6 SMART Response Clicker Kits, we may attempt to secure funds to cover those on the wait list.
