Middle School Team,

My name is Justin VanFleet. I have had the chance to meet many of you through work as a substitute teacher in the beginning of the year, through my role as a football coach, or in a Smart Board training during our recent Professional Development day.

In an effort to better support the school district I have made time available for individual training appointments for the middle school staff. The training will take place during a prep period in which we are both free. The training will be in support of the numerous pieces of technology that have become available for use, but focused on Smart Board technology. Attatched you will find an individual training curriculum that has been adopted by our school district.

If you are interested in meeting please reply to this email and we will work together to find a time to meet.

Thanks,

Justin VanFleet

Team,

I have posted next week's training schedule to our CFF wikispace.

http://warriorruncffcoach.wikispaces.com/

Again, the training schedule should allow us to have more meaningful meetings and training sessions. The training curriculum our district has adopted will give us a path in which to follow. It is once again attached.

I have also found that our CFF laptops do not have the capability to create DVDs for DVD players. If you would like to have the capability to do this, please go to the CFF folder on the sample drive and install DVD Flick. This file is once again executable. That means that you just double click on the file and it will take you through the install. if you would rather have assistance, just mention it during our determined training time.

Thanks,

Team,

Due to a desire for a more systematic approach to our individual training schedules I have made a training schedule. I hope this will better allow all of us to learn and plan on a more consistent basis as you will be able to plan for questions and desired training opportunities.

The schedule will allow for official training times once every two weeks for all teachers in CFF. That means that no matter what, you will all have the opportunity to become comfortable with the plethora of technology that has entered your classrooms.

I have posted next week's training schedule on my wikispace internet site so that I can show updates in an efficient manner. Please check the website as half of your official trainings will begin next week.

Finally, in an effort to guide our learning, I am attaching a training curriculum that has been approved by building supervisors. The curriculum is NOT a mandate, rather a tool to guide our learning and understanding of possibilities.

I wanted to also give a large thank you to all members of CFF. After a rocky start in the morning, you all managed to progress wonderfully though a large section of the embedded learning course. Your attitudes and motivation are very much appreciated.

Any questions or concerns, please email.

your cff coach,

Justin VanFleet
