What changes would you offer to improve the DL program? ______________________________________________________________________ In the new DL room. I cannot control anything but incoming volume. I also have no ______________________________________________________________________ instructions on some of the new equipment - smart board etc. just learned as I went ______________________________________________________________________ along. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ The biggest problem we had is hearing students while speaking. Since we have had ______________________________________________________________________ this new system there has been a lot less down time due to function of the system. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Room upgrade: better picture on viewing screens. The ability to see students in ______________________________________________________________________ teacher's classroom at the same time as teacher and/or document camera. More ______________________________________________________________________ interaction between teacher, students, and schools. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Contact the teachers and DL aides and go over the importance of reminding students ______________________________________________________________________ to be careful of the microphones. Example: going through papers near the ______________________________________________________________________ microphones and certain conversations. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Aides and teachers try harder to make sure cell phones are totally off. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Up date the equipment, I have old large box TV's ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .

General Comments _____________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Some classes had an abundance of days when we did not connect due to schedule ______________________________________________________________________ changes at both schools. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ Some students suffered from the lack of a regular class schedule. Also some ______________________________________________________________________ classes should offer an additional study or tutoring period. ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ It's been a great year! ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ BOCES Distance Learning Program . .
