InfoSource Learning has given us a trial account with selected training modules. Teachers' login information is identical to the SimpleAssessment logins from the fall (first initial + last name and your basic employee ID number as a password). There are 30 lessons available (although 10 of these are Mac related) and they cover Interactive Whiteboards, Technology Integration, Web. 2.0 Technologies, and Digital Literacy. These are designed to improve technology skills and awareness. (If you did not take the SimpleAssessment in the fall, you may need to check the help menu to learn to navigate through the lessons.) To log in, go to:

jimned.howtomaster.com
(enter your login info and click continue). Then go to courses and choose your lessons. We will be able to print reports for your continuing education certifications or if you complete a course you have the option to click on completed and print a certificate.

Short step-by-step tutorials for hundreds of applications. Teachers log in with your full email address and our "generic" password.

To improve Simple Assessment scores, the following tutorials are highly recommended: Web 2.0 Workshop, Word 2003, Windows XP, and Excel plus any of the new 21st Century Learning modules.
