This week's Corporate/Government training webinar was a huge success!  It was great see so much interest in TurningPoint, and I was excited to get to chat with so many of you.

There was a lot of interest in training documentation to accompany the session, so I thought I'd post it here for everyone to download when they have the opportunity. 

I am attaching several documents:

Since TurningPoint Anywhere had a new release recently, we've updated the training department's training documents.  I'm attaching a PC version and a Mac version, so please feel free to download and use them as you need.  Also, remember we that we offer tutorials to help along the way as well!  www.turningtechnologies.com/tutorials

Hope everyone is having a good semester!

Well, here in Ohio, the weather has changed (finally), and you can truly feel the holidays coming at you.  To get you in the mood, we've created a Christmas trivia presentation in TurningPoint.  If you've seen the previous Halloween and Thanksgiving presentations, this works the same way.  Change it up, alter questions, add your own music, or just use it as it is!  It's yours to do with as you please!  (and remember, you can use TurningPoint Anywhere overtop of any PPT presentation by just removing the TurningPoint charts from the slides, and running the rest of the

Well, it seems my Halloween presentation I posted recently was well received, and I've gotten many requests for more of these presentations.  So, without further ado, here's my new Thanksgiving Trivia presentation.  Please feel free to download it and use it however you like.  There are notes at the bottom of many of the slides, describing how the hyperlinking, scoring and competition is working.  You can also change categories and questions to fit your needs (I created it with questions at the high school level).   

I recently created a Halloween trivia game for a school I was working with, and decided to share it here!  Please feel free to download it and use it however you like.  There are notes at the bottom of many of the slides, describing how the scoring and competition is working.  You can also change categories and questions to fit your needs (this was created for a room full of adult teachers).  

Well, the user conference is over, and what a day 2 I had.  It was awesome.  I learned so many different pedagogical users I hadn't considered before, I learned how to build questions that suit many differet kinds of learners, and I got see specific presentations that educators are using with their classes, as well as a video of one of those classrooms in action!  That was so amazing!  To see the students engaged like that not only gave me tons of ideas, but also helped me see the benefits of classroom technologies!

Well, today was the first day of our user conference, and I mean it... WOW!  It was so great to meet everyone today.  Dr. Mazur's talk gave me so much to work with, and the breakout sessions not only taught me something, but made me walk away with a HUGE smile on my face.  I've been training people on TurningPoint for more than 3 years, but some of the ways it's being used out there?  WOW!  I can't wait to see the notes, etc., from the sessions I missed when they're posted.

I'm so excited for next week's user conference in Las Vegas.  As a trainer with Turning Technologies, I often help people with ways to use our systems, so I can't wait to hear/see all the different ways people are using them and to share it all with you! 

Hi Everyone!

Well, I'm preparing a few things for our User Conference in Las Vegas in October.  I'm so excited, because this year I am attending the conference as an attendee!  I get to go to the sessions, meet the users, and gather all kinds of best practices and pedagogical ideas for using our systems.  I'm really looking forward to bringing back all kinds of new ideas to share with everyone on my trainings!

The training department has updated all of its training documentation for the new school year!  Attached to this blog post are the updated documents for TurningPoint Anywhere! Notice there are different versions for both Mac and PC. (you must be logged in to view the documents)
