With the shortage of teachers, including substitute teachers, it can be difficult to release teachers for an inservice training during the school day. Short trainings via distance learning after school can be a solution to this problem. Teachers can go to a Distance Learning Classroom in or near their school, bring a laptop, and have an interactive hands-on training experience. Janet will make a CD of files and handouts available at each Distance Learning Classroom, so teachers can easily follow along during the training.    Jump to the following article to hear a customer success story, and to learn much more about Distance Learning: -Heartland AEA Teacher Training During her two years of teaching via distance learning, Janet and her students have found that participants quickly learn to use software programs like AppleWorks or Microsoft Office, and personal bonds form between participants and the trainer. Teachers have requested more offerings using this model.

All of the above workshops and presentations can easily be customized to meet your staff's needs. For example, you can modify the modules that are covered, or adjust the depth of coverage of particular topics. You can choose to focus on a particular version of the software your teachers use (for example, AppleWorks 4.0, 5.0, or 6.0, or Microsoft Office 97, 98, 2000, 2001, XP, X, 2003, or 2004). You can even cover more than one software program in a two-day workshop. Customizing is very much encouraged.
