  2. Discussion by the whole group will bring up potential obstacles and help provide greater insight into their big question.

Transitioning Statement

Before we leave this session, we would like to take some time to set up the ground rules for the on-line portion of the Institute. It is also important to us, for you to evaluate this Institute so that we make any necessary modifications to the training.

We had a variety of Action Plans presented from the groups. Most of the Plans took on the form of a lesson plan or unit in which the teacher planned to integrated technology. A few took the form of a formal investigation into the classroom environment. We wanted the participants to drive the process, so we let them make the final decisions. Even at the end of the two days, a few were undecided and needed special coaching during the break to come up with an implementation plan.
