6. Has the use of AlphaSmart with your student increased the curiosity of other teachers on your campus?  If so how ...

 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, they are curious about using it for curriculum & assessment.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

None that I am aware of.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have not been asked about them by other teachers.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most all of the other teachers are jealous and want to have their own next year.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not much has increased....the majority of us have AlphaSmarts!

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yes. they want to know my ideas

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not that I know of. All the teachers I know have AlphaSmarts they use and or share with someone. AlphaSmarts are well promoted by our tech personel.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, when they saw we received our own carts, they wanted to know how they could too.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not generally. On my grade level, there are 3 teachers who had written a grant for a cart this year. We collaborated quite heavily on lesson plans and ideas among each other. The other teachers would listen at times, but it did not increase their desire to use the AlphaSmarts more.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, I tell them about keywords in applets.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope so.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, we are now sharing carts with first grade classes.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

n/a

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think many of the teachers who didn't receive a grant this year will be applying for one next year.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. We have taken them on field trips and that has been a huge advocate for them.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most teachers in our campus use them and are happy to know that the special education teachers are using them, also.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I hope so...I talk about how much we use them!

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not that i know of

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe it has. Teachers on other grade levels have asked to use them to introduce keyboarding to their students and for special projects.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No...but everyone with whom I work also either got the grant or else now has an old cart to use without sharing.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, I am new to the system and many other teachers on campus currently utilize Alpha Smarts.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. I have had several teachers come and ask me how I use the Alphaquiz software and I showed them how I use it.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes. Other teachers see things that we have done and want to know more about it.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I believe they have seen how the alpha smarts benefit the students and how they could use them in their room.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, there were quite a few of us who received one.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not really.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most of our teachers use alphasmarts on our campus.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, they have asked me how I use them and specifically for what projects.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We share ideas about uses.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Most teachers already use them, but we are always looking for more ways to use them.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Other teachers are asking how I implement the AlphaSmart cart in other areas other than writing.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Many of the teachers on my campus either have been using the AlphaSmarts or applied for the grant for the AlphaSmarts at the same time that I applied. I became interested in the AlphaSmarts after seeing another teacher use them in her room.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NA

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Some. New teachers have inquired about them.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The wrod spread among the students, and teachers came asking how to use it and for ideas to use it in the classroom.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, other teachers see us using them and they want a cart to use.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I don't know.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, more teachers use it when lab schedule is full.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, they all wish they had their own cart.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes, some teacher has come to borrow it

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I really don't know.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Not at this point. Most teachers are well aware of their capabilities.

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Yes

<More>

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

not significantly
