GOAL 3: TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT All Alabama teachers and administrators benefit from high quality, professional development and support necessary to achieve local, state, and national standards and courses of study. Where We Stand Data Sources Action Steps AETC is available every summer in the Birmingham area in June. Many technology-related professional development opportunities, free, at convenient locations! Summer 2012, our school system offered many workshops, 3 – 6 hours in length each, for iPads, SchoolWires web pages, computer maintenance and routine repairs, podcasts, videos, photo software, APT Plus-360, website-building/maintenance, Geo-caching, Google docs and apps, Google e-mail, Skype, Promethean training, integrating technology into curriculum, etc., two of which were held here (again) in our own building since we have a wonderful setting. (The others were held at various nearby school buildings in our district.) In addition, our local university, JSU, offered free workshops. Also, we have free “mini” workshops right here in our school building. In addition, we have student “techies” to assist us. Also, another local university, UA/Gadsden offers master-level classes, as well as online classes (for the normal fee).
