You are confirmed for [|INSERT CLASS NAME HERE] at The Young Woman’s Leadership Academy located at 105 East 106th Street (Directions: [|http://schools.nyc.gov/OurSchools/Region9/M610/AboutUs/MapsAndDirections/default.htm).] We look forward to seeing you [|INSERT DAY HERE], [|INSERT DATE HERE] from [|INSERT TIME HERE: EXAMPLE 9-1]. You must have your email registration confirmation in hand to participate in class - no exceptions.

Please plan to arrive about 30 minutes prior to class to sign in, connect to the internet, etc. Participants who arrive more than 15 minutes after the class begins will not be granted attendance to class. Please plan accordingly as traffic and subway delays are bound to be a part of your commute. Participants receive training rate if they have FULL attendance in their class.

Seats for classes are limited. It is imperative that you attend any class for which you enroll. If you fail to attend a class, your place for approvals in future classes will be in jeopardy. If you cannot attend a class please withdraw immediately by going to [|http://pd.nycoit.org] and use the “enrollment management” tool located to the right of your screen to complete your withdrawal.

Please be advised that instructional technology classes require your full attention as missing even a small amount of instruction often result in the facilitator having to make adjustments that impede the entire class. As a result we have scheduled breaks for each class. We ask in advance of this class that you turn your cell phones and blackberries off during class and do not leave the room if there is not a scheduled break. The break will be your opportunity to make calls, have a snack, or attend to other personal business, so please plan accordingly. If there is a reason you can not adhere to this policy, please see the site manager so he or she can see if arrangements can be made to accommodate your needs.

As you may know, participants must come to class with an NYC DOE laptop and knowledge of their username and password for their NYC DOE email account. To obtain your OWA email account and password or to have your password reset, please call 718.935.5100. Participants without a laptop or access to their professional email account will not be able to participate in class.

Thank you very much for your interest in using 21st Century tools to enhance teaching and learning. We hope you will take a moment to review all our offerings by selecting “iTeach/iLearn” at [|http://pd.nycoit.org] where you will find classes where you can learn to use digital video, Google Earth, wikis, blogs, Geometer’s Sketchpad and more.

If you have any questions, please email oittraining@schools.nyc.gov. We look forward to seeing you next week.

Sincerely,

Office of Instructional Technology NYCDOE
