Tech Tools for All - Instructor Led Training

Tools: Zoom, SMART Board presentation system, and a Rode microphone.

Summary: I have led in person trainings, such as a Tech Tools presentation for instructors. We covered tools they can use in their classroom and how they will increase efficiency and engagement. This aids in efficiency as they don't have to try to test out multiple softwares to understand the pros and cons of each. I went through several and explained how they could be used and shared a website with links to tutorials for them to reference after the training was complete. 

Solution: Learners said it was the best training they've had and implemented the tools. They also referred to the website I created for the training with links and follow up ideas on implementing the softwares.

Brain - Based Learning - Information Processing

Tools: Computer lab for learners to work through the training

Summary: The brain influences how we receive information. By understanding information processing, instructors can create training that is reflective of these techniques to ensure information is stored in the long term memory, instead of going in one ear and out the other. 

Solution: Learners were able to use the action steps and create engaging trainings for all age groups, tailored to the goal of reducing the cognitive load during the encoding stage to move information to the long-term memory. 

Principles of Animation - Virtual Gallery Walk

Tools: Computer lab for learners to work through the training

Summary: This gallery walk is an alternative to a traditional "sit and get" session. It was completely self paced as learners could click through the slides, videos and complete the activities. I monitored the room and answered questions throughout.

Solution: Learners applied the Principles discussed in this training to create their own original flip books and digital animations.
