Summary of Evaluation Questionnaire Results:

Factors that facilitate the project

We have studied some of the programs in some courses. We already have teaching practice this semester, and that help us in the need assessment and the evaluation of the project. Contacting with some teachers from the Ministry, especially from the Educational Technology and Human Resources Departments. Contacting some experts from the CET, especially from the photography and Video and Sound Departments. Contacting some experts from Twitter.

Constrains:

Website Name Preparing a big amount of tutorials in a short period of time. Website Photographs. Animation Design. In designing the website, we use weebly.com, and we couldn't use all of the features because some of them are not free. In project implementation, only few teachers attended a sample of teachers.

Recommendations:

It’s recommended for the Ministry of Education to start using E-training for teachers not just providing the workshops content in the e-content section in there website. We hope that this project will be implemented by the Ministry, and if that happen, the website will be continually updated and more workshops will be added.
