Catherine and I had our final training session on Monday night. We had a turnout of 15 of our colleagues.
this week we went over a few of the skills we covered last week and went into a bit more depth about editing digital video and adding sound. At the end of the session we used Promethean Activote to evaluate the course with the staff. This proved to be very successful – both an effective evaluation for Catherine and I and a fairly enjoyable experience for those doing the evaluation! We did ask quite a lot of questions, and I am sure people were starting get fidgety by the end of the evaluation, but we felt each question was important to give us feedback for future training sessions. The anonymous vote was effective as people were comfortable expressing their true opinions.
Before everyone went home, we asked people to put their skills into practice as soon as possible, before people forgot – this is a busy term and time is precious. We also asked for people to send us feedback about what they are doing with digital photography and digital video. I hope we hear how some of our colleagues use this training experience. Catherine and I are still working on the evaluation – we will post it up soon. Today Catherine and I are working on producing certificates fro everyone who attended over the past 4 weeks.

The hope is that we will cover similar courses on Islay over the next session, covering different parts of ICT. Certainly everyone remarked on the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues as being an effective part of the training. Hopefully as we progress over the next session we will see even more collaboration between our schools.
