The document summarizes feedback from administrators involved in Innovation Spaces schools about the current status and opportunities to improve technology training for teachers. Administrators reported that students are actively engaged in class, work well with others, ask for help when needed, and are able to work independently using iPads. When asked how to improve teacher training, administrators suggested providing more collaboration time and expectations around technology use. They noted that summer training helped teachers start planning how to integrate technology into instruction by providing an introduction and iPads to experiment with over the summer. The most successful training topics, according to administrator feedback, included iPad overview and organization as well as the iPad Café sessions.

How
did
the
summer
professional
development
provide
teachers
a
starting
point
for
integrating
technology
into
instruction?
Gave
us
the
platform
to
develop
a
map
for
classroom
use.
Awesome
Very

Would've
been
great
to
have
a
day
in
August
to
go
back
and
review
the
expectations,
see
if
there
are
questions
and
set
the
year
in
motion.
It
was
a
great
kickoff
to
get
teachers
appetites
wet
enough
to
start
thinking
about
how
to
integrate
technology
into
their
instruction.
Giving
then
an
iPad
to
begin
with
was
such
a
great
idea,
as
they
played
with
it
all
summer!
