Development+Phase

=Development Phase= In the development phase, the materials are authored, reviewed, produced, and validated. The activities carried out during development will depend on the instructional media to be produced. The driving question during production is, "How will materials look and sound?"

 Small group instruction that occurs during the in-service week before school starts and early dismissal days through the year. Small groups will be made up of department members (i.e., science, math, language arts, social studies, etc…). Group leaders will be made up of early adaptors and other interested staff members. Teachers will have opportunities to practice demonstrated activities in their small group sessions and experience the technology as the students would.  //Download the ISD Development Phase here: [|ISD_Table.pdf]//
 * Development Phase **
 * Students and faculty will vary in age, background, and cell phone ability level.
 *  Students have a common desire to become familiar with cell phone since so many of them use one.
 *  Faculty also have a common desire to become familiar with the technology since so many of their student utilize the technology.
 *  Faculty will complete training under the guidance of a mentor.

**Multimedia Component Rationale** The selection of the media component was based on cost and need for reinforcement materials. No out-of-pocket costs will be incurred since the hardware pre-exists and a majority of the software is free Web 2.0 tools. Additional content is available on a district Moodle site and del.ic.ious page in addition to an expert in building.

 **Multimedia Component Storyboard** Download the Multimedia Component Storyboard here: [|Gabcast.ppt] and [|Handout.pdf] The multimedia is intended for the faculty in-service training sessions. In fact, much of it could also be used for the student activities conducted by the individual teachers.

District personnel who are early adaptors of cell phones as learning tools and IT staff members will be approached to review materials developed for instructional use.
 * Review of Course Materials**

Staff members who participate in the training will be encouraged to complete a survey that will help to further refine the training in the future for new faculty and current teachers who wants a refresher.

Further in-service training can also be requested through the IT department and early adaptor facilitators.
