This course is designed to train you to become a Thinkfinity Trainer.

Upon completion of the course, you will be able to train others to integrate Thinkfinity resources into the curriculum to enhance student learning.

The course is asynchronous, so there is no scheduled meeting time. Participants do, however, have deadlines for turning in assignments.

There will be two graduate credits available upon successful completion of the course if you are interested in earning university credit (optional).

Learning Environment: 
Online Facilitated Course – delivered via Blackboard

Audience:
This session is intended for educators who are interested in training others to locate and integrate Thinkfinity resources, but who have little or no experience with the Thinkfinity resources themselves.  Due to the fast-paced nature of this session, educators are encouraged to have a high comfort level with using the Internet.  Specific audiences may include technology integration specialists, staff developers, teacher leaders, and pre-service faculty and students. 

Training Requirements

Eligible applicants must have experience in the use of technology resources in the classroom, as well as experience in providing professional development for other teachers. Trainer candidates must show solid commitment to training other teachers, and must agree to report on their training activities using TIMS, Thinkfinity’s tracking system. Trainer candidates will commit to training a minimum of ten teachers within 90 days of the completion of the online course.
