Assessment Data and Evaluation of Instruction

After reviewing the workshop evaluation forms I concluded that teachers found the information I gave

on Google Drive would be beneficial for them in the classroom and in the process of planning with other

teachers. The information I presented was helpful and informative to my audience. One of the concerns

or setbacks teachers had with using Google Drive is the use of email with the students. Many email

providers are blocked in a school system so that was one of their major concerns with using Google

Drive. The majority of the teachers present felt that their students and their peers will benefit if they use

a web based tool such as Google Drive. They also made comments of wanting additional workshops

that introduce other Web 2.0 tools that they have access to.

Self-Evaluation of Staff Development Workshop

The staff development went very well! I think that the teachers present really enjoyed learning about

Google Drive and could see that they were interested in other Web 2.0 tools that are available for

instructional tools. Many of the participants had not been introduced to Google Drive prior to this

workshop so I was actually excited that I could teach them about this easy to use web based tool. I did

not have any difficulties but many of the laptops that the participants were using were not able to

connect to the Internet. Thankfully I had printed the PowerPoint slides so they could take notes and theyfollowed along with me and others as they manipulated the features of Google Drive. I was very

pleased on how it went and Mrs. Parker asked me to come back and teach them again!
