Module 5

Our  school has gone through a major transition to implementing technology in the past 3 years. I had to train the teachers on the electronic gradebook that they were not crazy to implement and still have issues with it. I did all the training and went through the trial and error period of using it before training my school. I introduced it to the school. I told them that it was easy and that alot of information can be stored on the electronic gradebook. I told them that parents were able to view their students' grade without having to come in for a conference. During the training, they asked why did they change to gradebook, this is too much, and a bunch of what if questions. After the training, I did one on one with those who needed extra help. After a full year of troubleshooting to all the teachers that complain, everyone was able to use the electronic gradebook. Then the next year came and the school district upgraded the gradebook for it can have more speed when there are many users at a time. The teachers couldn't understand, there were a few difference but not a lot. Some teachers still did not like the gradebook and only us it when it was time for report cards and asked for a lot of help. A lot of teachers were grateful for my assistance but there were few that complained the entire time. When we implement something new, those teachers always complaining but now they either use, use it when someone is observing, or don't use it at all.
