<p>It&#8217;s a 15 hour professional development course that is open to any certified staff as well as any supervisor/specialist. The course can be taken for either PD credit (teacher license renewal) or Drake University credit.</p>
<p>During the course, you&#8217;ll receive an HP laptop and hands-on training for how to image, setup and manage your laptop. You&#8217;ll also receive training on applications such as Office and Skype. Staff are full administrators of their devices &#8211; meaning they can decide what software to install on their device, as well as select the network drives and printers that they need. Currently, about 70% of our staff have taken the course &#8211; and based on this, we anticipate that three additional sections over the summer should address the remaining need.</p>
