Thank you for helping to make Project E-Teach such a success. We appreciate the time and effort you have put forth in participating in the program. We have some exciting new features on our web site.

We have added many new teacher links in each of the subject areas. Take a minute and look at the wonderful teacher links we have added.

For your scheduling convenience Project E-Teach training calendar is on-line. Project E-Teach participants can now go on-line and view all of the training scheduled across the region. This calendar can be used to assist you in planning and scheduling the remainder of your E-Teach training sessions.

As you can see, the calendar is extremely full as we have over 2000 educators from 167 campuses participating in this training.

Message boards are designed to post questions that project staff or your peers may answer. The message boards differ from a "chat" in the fact that your question may not be answered immediately. The questions/comments will be posted and as peers and staff members answer, the answers will be posted below the question.

To post a message to the message board, choose the appropriate message board and click "view and post to discussion" If you wish to reply to someone else's message, click on the "Reply". If you wish to post a new message, click the "Post to Discussion"

Shaunda Guthrie will be viewing the Help Desk message boards during work hours to answer commonly asked questions.

In addition to the regular Help Desk hours the Help Desk will also be on-line Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7-8 pm to answer your Project E-Teach questions live via chat.

In addition to helpdesk chat, several other chat rooms have been made available to discuss relevant educational issues. Use of the chat site must be done in compliance with your districts acceptable use policy. Chat may not be available from your district due to district security issues.

To access the chat rooms, click on the chat link. You will see a page that will allow you to click on the chat link again. When you click on the chat icon, a window will pop up which will list the available chat rooms. Simply choose a room by clicking on it and click the enter room button. To "chat" simply type what you want to say in the white box at the bottom of the chat window. When you have finished, simply press the enter/return button on your keyboard.
