=Carroll County Tech Training Program for 2013=

Hello, and welcome to the support wiki for the CCPS technology training program. This program was designed with the needs of Carroll County educators in mind. To that end, we will learn how to make the most out of the technology budget that the county has by making use of new online technologies that are either free or can be purchased for a relatively small fee. In this 5 day training course you will be introduced to ways of making the most of Promethean boards, blogs, wikis, podcasts, Google Docs, and many other Web 2.0 products. For those teachers who have never used these technologies, there will be remediation links available on each page to assist you with the basics of the program. These support materials; however, have been made with the mindset that your school's tech specialist(s) have already presented the basics of these technologies earlier in the year, and now it is time to expand your knowledge of how these technologies can make an impact in your classroom.



My name is John Freundel and I have been a teacher at South Carroll High School for 5 years where I have taught AP Psychology for the last 4 years. I have been working to complete my Masters in Educational Technology through UMUC since 2009 and should finish by the summer of 2013. Throughout my course work with UMUC I have learned how to use many different types of technologies in the classroom and have seen how the use of these technologies have improved my students' performance in class. With this first hand experience in mind, I have created this technology training course to help other AP educators of Carroll County develop new strategies for teaching their students so that these young adults will succeed on the AP exam, in college, and in life.
