Final Exit Slip

Submitted by admin on Sat, 07/21/2007 - 17:07.

Just as responses from previous Tech Matters participants helped the leadership team understand the experience from a participant's perspective, your responses will enable the leadership team to continue our inquiry into professional development centered around technology and literacy. As you fill out this final exit slip, please consider the goals of Tech Matters 2007.

Each team will:

  • consider strategies for using technology to facilitate the work of your local writing project site
  • engage in a process of inquiry that considers these technologies both in relation to your local site and in connection to personal teaching goals
1. How did the design and content of Technology Matters 2007 support your thinking about the work at your site? Consider components like the pre-institute discussion, the daily elements of the institute (e.g., articulation time, birds of a feather, case studies, writing into the day), and resources (e.g., readings, technology tools, etc.).

2. What particular experiences and activities were most valuable to you? In what ways were they useful?

3. Were there important issues that the institute did not address? What were they and why were they important to you?

4. How might you use examples from the case studies or particular technologies with teachers and/or site leaders when you return home?

5. How has Tech Matters prepared you to pursue a minigrant? What, if any, other supports could we have provided to you?

6. How did working within the Technology Matters website contribute to your experience and learning?

7. What was it like to have a partner at Tech Matters for: personal learning, for teacher learning, for site development?

8. Please think for a minute about “Continuity” for Technology Matters 2007. How might you like to follow-up with your colleagues here, on the issues we’ve addressed together?
