 * “Well organized/effective”
 * “To actually do an activity about the very subject we are helping to bring to our students was obviously time well spent”
 * “I liked to discussion about the constructivist approach to instruction”
 * “In actuality, we spent only a small portion of the day (30 minutes) playing around on wikispaces. The activity of posting a “main idea” seemed beneath the audience”
 * “It was nice to have the day broken up into segments”
 * “There was a lot of moving between groups. Would have liked less of that


 * “I learned something new that will help my students”
 * “I already had a good understanding of formative assessment and use them regularly”
 * “I did learn new things however, what we saw and how it was shown would be hard to do in a math classroom”
 * “Didn’t seem too focused on formative assessment. Focused seemed to be on the article and wikispaces. Article was a problem with most in our group."



Suggestions for additional PD on Assessment
 * “How to communicate to parents”
 * “More content specific work”
 * “We still need helpful, specific and on-going PD on formative summative assessments”
 * “interdisciplinary content would help”

Suggestions for additional PD related to Technology
 * “Setting up a wiki”

Comments, Suggestions, Questions
 * “Teacher presenters were excellent and a good idea. I think teachers were receptive.”
 * “I was worried I was being graded on the “3650 Days.”
 * “When giving an “assignment” to read and respond, it would be appreciated if it is relevant to all teachers. The article given was difficult to read and had no application to my classroom.”
