Interface in Your Hands



The buzz about the SPPS Interface has been around for a while now.  The RFP went out, 7 vendors responded, a committee vetted the 7 vendors down to 3, and has since narrowed it further to 2 vendors:  Dell and Desire 2 Learn.

Finally the time to see it, touch it, click it, question it is here!  Please join your colleagues...


May 18th (Dell)  @ The Center 

&

May 31st (Desire2Learn) @ 360 Colbourne, Room A .  


There will be four 90 minute sessions each day that include a little explanation, a lot of exploration, and of course, Q & A on each interface proposal.


Four Sessions—90 minutes for purposeful and participatory demonstrations

This Interface is designed to bring all of a teacher's tools to their fingertips, one-click away, to facilitate data-driven decision making, aligned learning, differentiation and more.  This is an important point in the learning timeline at St. Paul Public Schools - come click around and give us your perspective.

Hope to see you there!
