2. Needs assessment • Technology is implemented everyday in today’s society. At this moment, educators are using computers, overhead projectors, Elmo projectors, and print material to instruct and engage students in the lecture they give. The educators should have updated technology for their lectures. The purpose of this training is to instruct every educator, paraprofessional, and staff member on how to use iPads for educational purposes.

3. Needs assessment • At the education setting, educators are provided with overhead projectors, Elmo projectors, computers, and print material. What should be available is the latest technology which is the iPads. • The knowledge educators will acquire will help them use various applications for the subject they teach. • The educators will also acquire how to use the tools that are imbedded in the iPad itself.

4. Needs assessment • My recommendation would to have the latest technology in the classrooms. Students use their mobile devices in and out of the classrooms. Why not bring the iPads into the classroom so students will interact with the material the educator has provided. • This training will help the educator use the iPad immediately after receiving their iPads in the classroom

23. Formative evaluation • An outside expert will serve as the Subject Matter Expert. This expert will help in any questions the learner has at the time of the training. The Subject Matter Expert will also leave their contact information just in case the learner has a question after the training is completed. A small group evaluation will also take place at the training. The learners will be placed in small groups. Once the information is provided to them, they will navigate with no interruptions using the iPad. This is to see if the leaner understood the information provided through the training. • The feedback from the Subject Matter Expert and the small group evaluation will help me to determine if more information is needed or changes need to be made in the training. If changes need be, then maybe breaking up the learners into different training times by the subject they teach.

24. summary • By completing this training, the learner should be able to use the iPad with little to no difficulty. The learner should be able to take the knowledge that was provided to them and engage their students with the app they chose to use for the subject they teach. The learner should have fun and try various apps to suit the student’s wants and needs. • The iPad will serve as an great innovative tool to use in the classroom. Students will be more engage in the material and learning will be fun.
