During the course of the year, the PT3 staff and the Technology Learning Teaching Center Staff (TLTC) will conduct a variety of technological training sessions. These training sessions are designed to provide in-depth coverage of instructional technology methods (such as those surveyed in INTECH/Quest) and to enhance those individual technological skills that will serve to engage their students in the use of technology. In attempt to accommodate all participants, training sessions will be conducted at a variety of times and dates. Participants have the flexibility to attend those trainings of interest at a time that fits their schedule. Those participants residing a distance from the University may opt to attend the Saturday training sessions in order to accumulate a larger of number of hours for each trip to Thibodaux. We do require that 5 of the 40 required training hours be earned by attending either the Fall or Spring PT3 Technology Workshop.

    In order to maintain the integrity and focus of our project, only training sessions sanctioned by the PT3 staff will serve to satisfy the PT3 training requirement. This intent of our training requirement is not to supplant professional development necessary for the performance of your current duties, but rather to supplement these opportunities. Therefore, training sessions offered through the University (institutes, Passport, conferences, etc.) will not be applicable. Sessions conducted through academic computing and/or “The Quest” are applicable (i.e.Diane Leger). Only training completed during period in which you are enrolled in PT3 will be applicable. However, In order to meet the needs of individuals who wish to explore unique areas of specific need, the PT3 staff will seek to enlist the services of consultants or authorize training outside the realm of the PT3 staff.
