Suggestions for Workshops

In our needs assessment the district’s technology workshops were one area that had some room for improvement.  The only way we can improve the workshops is with your feedback.  I have posted surveys every year for the last few years.  I made the workshop selections based on those surveys and you would not believe how many negative comments I have received from staff members on the “dumb” choices for workshops.  The “dumb” choices are what the people that took the time to complete the survey choose.  If you would like technology workshops that are not “dumb” you must express your ideas here. 

Please include in your post a description of what you want to learn, when the workshop should be, and who you would like to see teach it.  For example when people just said they want to learn Microsoft Word, some have meant very basic features and others were expecting very advanced features.  When would you like the workshop 1 hour after school, ½ day over the summer or a full day over the summer?  Who would you like to see teach the workshop is very important.  The workshops need to be relevant to you.  Would it be better if one of the technology staff taught the workshop, a high school teacher, an elementary teacher, etc?
