=Here's the email message we sent out before the class:=

As we discussed last time we met, this workshop will focus on the development of curriculum which incorporates the Tablet PC. Please come prepared with an idea (or two) about a lesson (or unit) you'd like to work on. Bring any old materials you'd like to update, or any media you'd like to include.

We will have three hours to work on these projects, help each other solve problems, and benefit from the experience in the room. In order to facilitate collaboration, you will each have the opportunity to pair up with at least one other teacher in the program to develop a lesson (or unit). This will be a chance to create an innovative cross-curricular experience for your students.

If you would like to find a partner and discuss any ideas before class, feel free. Otherwise, we'll plan on facilitating the process at the beginning of the workshop.

Come armed with questions and ideas... and ready to take advantage of this time together.

Also, please remember that these meetings/trainings were a mandatory commitment each of us made upon accepting the Tablet PC. I know that schedules are busy, and work gets hectic, but it is vitally important that you attend these meetings. If you're unable to make it, please contact me directly.

See you tomorrow at 3:30 in the District Office Board Room!
