GoKnow creates and
delivers professional development
seminars to
train teachers to use its educational technology
products and, more importantly, to incorporate these tools into the
classroom in support of inquiry-based learning.
To help you with a successful and sustainable handheld implementation
project, GoKnow, Inc. proposes a professional
development model for Year One. This timeline and model
may be easily modified for larger and smaller groups as necessary, but
the overall goals remain the same. We hope
that you can use this framework in your grant proposals, to
create an implementation strategy for your district or school. Contact
a GoKnow Specialist at pd@goknow.com
to discuss the specifics of a handheld implementation professional development
plan for your school or district.
