Reminder: Technology PD This Year Begins with Zoom Training

Correction to last week’s article about logging in to the AEA PD Online Learning System to access technology training:

Please do not contact Shelley Christensen if you have trouble with your Online Learning System account password. Shelley no longer has access to password information. It is important that you do not create a second account within the system, as that can cause lost training records and issues logging in. If you believe you have created a previous account, first try to reset your password, and then check with your district contact person found in the HELP! area if needed.

Reminder:
In last week’s Connection you read about the plan for technology professional learning for Heartland AEA staff for 2016-17, and the first course offering -- Zoom Basic Training -- is ready to begin!

Remember there is a pre-assessment with this training, so you may be able to test out of this first offering.

To begin the process and access the training on the AEA PD Online Learning System, follow the steps below:


First, you will need to have an AEA PD Online account. 
If you haven’t created an account, follow the steps below:

• Begin on the AEA PD Online Learning System.
• First time user??? Click on Register here.
• Enter your first and last name.
• Enter your email address.
• Enter your BoEE folder number. 
If you don't know this number, you can look it up at the BoEE Website.
 If you don't have one, indicate N/A.
• Click Yes to indicate that you are an AEA or District Employee.
• Locate Heartland AEA from the district list.
• Enter the District Password - aea11
• You may complete the other fields, but they are not required.
• Click on Submit Registration Info.
• The screen will not appear to change, but you will see a Continue button under the Submit button.
• Click on Continue.
• Once logged in to the AEA PD Online Learning System:
• You will choose the catalog link in the upper left hand sidebar.
• Then, click on district modules, and all of Heartland AEA’s content for our capacity building training will be listed.
• Begin by clicking on the course you want to take. The pre-assessment will be the first screen.
• If the pre-assessment demonstrates proficiency, you will be notified and can print a certificate of completion.
• If more leaning is indicated, you will move on to the online learning module for the current Zoom Basics Training module.


When you finish the Zoom Basic Training, keep watching The Connection for news about when new training modules will be released. If you are interested in learning more about Zoom, we expect the Zoom Advanced Training module to be available in November. The Digital Literacy Security and Privacy module will be available in early December.

If you have questions about the learning system, contact Lynn McCartney, Instructional Technology Consultant, or Mande Gamble, Technology Training Specialist.
