We learned sooo much!• Desire2Learn does not work like WebCT.• Not all districts have the same or nearly the same permissions.• We will stick with our original timelines.• Face-to-face help sessions eased anxiety.• Plan template is not accurate assessment of the course.• Break course into 1-credit chunks.• Course was microcosm of real-world classroom.• Teachers want to learn more about technology and integration.• Teachers want more technology available to them and students.• Teachers want to be 21st Century Educators.
