** LTMS 500-02 ** ** Design Document  ** The goal of this training course is to train teachers in the skills needed to effectively use available word processing technology both for themselves and with their students. Possible future trainings will include the development of skills and strategies needed for incorporating overhead projectors, Compass Learning lessons, Power Point Presentations, Teacher Tube videos, and United Streaming videos into their instruction in ways that met their curriculum standards. The audience will be fourth and fifth grade teachers at Alloway Creek Intermediate School with varying degrees of skills in using educational technologies. Design time will be five weeks: · Audience analysis and survey: end of week one · Task analysis: end of week two · Completion and review of objectives: end of week three · Trainer’s guide, trainee handouts, and evaluations: end of week four · Pilot and revisions done: end of week five The training will be completed in two forty-five minute sessions during scheduled team meeting times. A third component of training will be done in one to one sessions available on an individuals needs bases.

 * 2. Delivery **
 * Content ** The training will cover the knowledge and skills practice needed for the teacher trainees to instruct students in using a word processing program.


 * Method ** A facilitated classroom design will be used for sessions one and two. Coaching will be used for session three.


 * Training Time ** The training will be completed in two sessions of 45 minutes during scheduled team meeting times. Session 3 will be scheduled as needed for trainees needing additional assistants.

Problem: Team meeting time is used to meet many requirements, such a reading and math collaboration, IEP meetings, LFS training, PSSA preparation, and faculty meetings. Opportunity: Training sessions will provide time for teachers with higher level technology skills to provide input and suggestions.
 * Problems and Opportunities **

The word processing component will be the first training session and the slice of the training that I will focus on in my design document. Teacher objectives: Student objectives for the teacher to use in training students: Media used will include a humorous video opening, a graphic organizer anticipation guide, handouts outlining the objectives and vocabulary, an overhead projector for presenting and modeling, a computer for each trainee, a trainee evaluation, and a trainer evaluation to be completed by trainees.
 * 3. Objectives **
 * 1) The teacher will access lab sign out calendar and fill in appropriate information for time and date.
 * 2) The teacher will prepare the lab by turning on computers, creating folders for students to save work, and checking that projector is connected and working properly.
 * 3) The teacher will go over lab routines and expectations with students before taking students to the lab.
 * 4) The teacher will model the steps for creating and formatting a word document using the projector.
 * 5) The teacher will observe students’ progress by walking among students and observing progress and assisting students individually.
 * 6) The teacher will demonstrate how to use Spell Checker by both clicking on the spell checker tool and by clicking next to misspelled words for spelling options.
 * 7) The teacher will perform a mock lesson demonstrating competencies in objectives one through six.
 * 1) The student will open the word processing program (Word in this case) by double clicking on desktop icon.
 * 2) The student will type his/her name on the Word document using shift to capitalize the first letter of his/her first and last name.
 * 3) The student will click once on //file// then to //save as// and locate designated class folder and save file in the folder.
 * 4) The student will type and center a title using justification.
 * 5) The student will demonstrate the ability to use editing functions such as copy, cut, paste, and undo.
 * 6) The student will correct misspelled words using spell checker.
 * 7) The student will create and save a word document using default settings for Word with the exception of double spacing. The document will contain the student’s first and last name with proper capitalization at the top left, followed by homeroom section, and date below name, followed by a centered title 2 lines below the date, a paragraph of 3 sentences that is indented and has no more than 2 misspelled words, and print the document.

Time will be made available for trainees to receive additional assistance in teaching word processing to their students. === 7. Administration and Evaluation This training course will be conducted during mandatory team meeting times. It will be scheduled by the building principal and teacher team leader. The designer will be responsible for administering the training, reviewing the evaluation data, and determining the need for follow-training. Evaluations will include a trainee observation checklist and an evaluation of the training by the trainees. 8. Links The training will be at minimal cost to the school district. Alloway Creek has a common planning time for all teachers in the morning and a common team planning time in the afternoon. Teachers will not be required to attend training outside of the contracted school day and substitute teachers will not be needed to cover classes. A cost of approximately $25 will be incurred in the use of paper and photocopying.
