Account Setup Instructions

I prepared these instructions so teachers would set up accounts for some apps that teachers needed to use during the workshop. These included Bluestacks, Edmodo, Evernote, RedLaser. Teachers set up the accounts while they waited for other classmates to arrive or during down times.

The workshop agenda listed the topics to be discussed during the day along with the pre and post-tests.

The Pre and Post tests consisted of lower-level knowledge questions. Looking at them now, I recognize my own growth in the area of question design:

1. I am now very careful so I don't include double-barreled questions.
2. I am designing higher-level questions nowadays.

The presentation included information as well as knowledge checks and how to screens using GIFs. The purpose of the GIFs was to keep instructions rotating on screen so people who.would get stuck in one step could ask for help and then continue with the other steps.

I provided  a list of research literature references so teachers were able to consult the resources I used to prepare the workshop.

The Pre and Post tests results showed an average of 11.66% gains across groups. The lower percentage of gains can be explain by the relatively high percentage scores in the pre-test (40.33% on average).

Workshop evaluations revealed that teachers were very pleased with the experience. Here are the evaluations (as provided by grant director):
