I've been spending this week up at The Thacher School in Ojai, CA. It's about an hour and a half from Saugus over the hill from Santa Paula off the 126. We started on Sunday afternoon and have barely stopped except for meals.
Some of the training has been repetitive for me, but a lot is a new exciting experience. I've learned how to use the Goggle apps, Google pages (website), and Moodle. today is Multi-Media day. One of the great things is that soon all teachers in Saugus will have access to California Streaming, with California standards based content to use in their classrooms. More on that in coming months.
Saugus is so lucky to have 16 teachers attending, with 3 of us in the trainer workshops and 13 in the Digital Classroom workshops. Everyone seems to be having a great time.
Today classes let out at 3:15 and those who wish can take the bus in to downtown Ojai. I'm hanging around the campus to work on both training projects and Saugus projects.
Maybe I'll even try to catch up on some sleep.
