toc =__Welcome!__= This wiki will be the home for your Promethean board training. Please complete the following steps as outlined below.

__* Please do not mark on boards with whiteboard markers. Use the electronic pen to preserve the surface of the board. *__

A. Create an account

 * 1) Set up your [|wikispaces account]. If you are interested in creating your own 'wiki', then you can make one at that time by choosing a name for it. Be sure to specify that it is **Private** and certify that is is for education to avoid the banner ads to the right. This is not a required step though and you can always come back later to create your own once you know more about them though using this wiki.
 * 2) Once you've created your account __**and have logged in**__, come back to this page and complete the remaining steps.
 * 3) Join this space by clicking "Join This Space" in the upper left hand corner. Please specify your first and last name and your school.
 * 4) I will receive an email that you have requested to join and I'll approve it, then you can go to step #5.
 * 5) Go to the Teachers page, click the **"EDIT THIS PAGE"** link in the upper left, and add your name and which grade you are teaching. Additionally, please specify whether your class is collaborative or not. Pages with a button that says "Page Locked" cannot be edited.

B. Promethean Training
The training will take place in several formats.
 * 1) The first part of your training will take place online through Promethean's website.
 * 2) The second part of your training will be face-to-face in our lab at the PDC. The UGA ETTC will be our training agency. This will not be a one-shot training. In order for it to be effective, it will take place over three to four sessions for a total of ten contact hours for one PLU. Spacing the sessions will allow you to go back to your classroom and apply what you have learned as well as use any lessons you created during training. When the group reconvenes, there will be time alloted for sharing resources and/or lessons created with the group.
 * 3) On-site assistance. The UGA ETTC will provide on-site user assistance when needed.
 * 4) Wiki collaboration - This wiki will serve as a virtual 'meeting' place where all of you can add resources, exchange lessons, discuss and answer questions concerning use of the boards, and any other topics that might arise. As you navigate this site, at the top of each page is a discussion tab. If you have comments or questions regarding content on a particular page, you can click on the discussion tab and leave them there. This is much more efficient than email and will allow us to keep an archive.
 * 5) Please go to the Training Schedule page for further information.
