MCCSC Tech Training



	Technology Workshops Course Descriptions The following Workshops [Scroll Down] were offered throughout the Summer of 1999. All are available for presentation in any building (or combination of buildings) throughout schoolyear 1999-2000. Have your building coordinator or administrator contact Dr. Concetta Raimondi and/or the named presenter to make arrangements. The summer sessions ran 3 1/2 hours from 8:30-12:00 AM, making the full session an appropriate presentation for a half-day staff development program. However, each presenter has expressed interest in shorter follow-ups and introductions to their topics. Additionally, the BOB (MCCSC PC/NT Network Server/Workstation Administration) Group/Team has a "short" presentation for coordinators which can be adapted to assisting teachers make the best instructional use of these workstations in a classroom environment. The computer/technology coordinators will be working on developing additional topics for Summer 2000. Your input/suggestions to Carl Zager and/or your local building coordinator will be appreciated.
