ASSISTments 3 day Summer Workshop 2012 at WPI
From TeacherWiki
Contents |
Get ready to start using ASSISTments in the Fall of 2012
This is a workshop to learn how to use ASSISTments
Participants will leave this training ready to use ASSISTments in the fall. You will learn how to find already built content and build your own. Each participant will design a simple routine to use in class.
Come with a colleague. It is much easier to remember everything if you can put your heads together.
- Principals and other school leaders are invited to join the institute at any time free of charge if a teacher is signed up. It is key that school leaders understand the power of ASSISTments as a school reform tool.
For more information or to ask questions contact Cristina Heffernan at ch@wpi.edu.

Food
Snacks will be provided each day.
Location
Worcester Polytechnic Institute, Worcester MA
If you need a place to stay in Worcester, one suggested hotel is the Courtyard Marriott Worcester; it is walking distance to campus.
