On Tuesday, Feb 7, I participated in a live webinar from Georgia DOE about the upcoming CCGPS - math (Common Core Georgia Performance Standards - math). The whole thing was interesting: seeing how the new standards will affect teachers, what will change as far as standards covered and how they'll be handled, and then the whole tech aspect of a live webinar!
All the first grade teachers in our system gathered in one location to participate. At points, it was difficult to get the info we needed because they were using a PowerPoint, but somehow in the filming aspect, only about 4/5 of it showed on the screen...we were missing part of each first word. Fortunately, with our new iPads from our school, we were able to access the presentation online and follow along, seeing all the information! https://www.georgiastandards.org/Common-Core/Documents/Feb7_10amMath1st.pdf
This is a neat way to share information to many at one time or without having to include travel expenses, but be sure that everyone gets the exact same info. As schools are beginning to offer virtual components to their curriculum (even high schools), this might be an interesting approach to consider.
