Professional Development in North Carolina: Noticing that many teachers were only using their computers for grading and word processing, educator Marlene Sanges of North Stanly High School in New London, North Carolina, decided that something had to be done about this waste of potential. Realizing that there was so much more that could be done with North Stanly's technology equipment, Sanges volunteered to teach a workshop. She didn't just teach, however. When teachers complained that their computers didn't work, she knew that without working computers the workshop would fail. Therefore, she went to each teacher's room to replace batteries, run utilities and first aid programs, rebuild desktops and update software. After that, she led the teachers in basic troubleshooting, updating and cleaning of their computers. "It scared the daylights out of them to remove the cover [of their computer], but I finally convinced them that if they followed my directions they would do no harm," Sanges remembers.

Then, with the computers ready and the teachers ready to keep them in working condition, learning to create multimedia presentations began. Teachers used programs they already had on their computers and were often surprised to learn the software to create multimedia presentations had been on their computers all along. Sanges believed it was important for teachers to learn on their own computers. To accomplish this, Sanges used live closed-circuit video, allowing teachers to remain in their own classrooms. Teachers watched Sanges' live video instruction on a video monitor in their classrooms while using their own computers to learn to create multimedia presentations. Individual questions during the session were answered by email while issues and problems that related to all the teachers were discussed via the live video presentation.
