General Audience
The audience will consist of elementary teachers throughout Bulloch County. Majority of these
teachers who are attending this workshop are familiar with technology.
Problem Identification
Two years ago, Bulloch Countys school district decided to go Google. Every teacher and student
was assigned a Google e-mail. With that being said, students at Langston Chapel Middle School
started using their e-mails in inappropriate ways; they were creating social media accounts with
their school e-mails. The principal of Langston Chapel Middle has the ability to view the
different e-mails that are sent from the students who attend the school. She was not pleased at
how the students were utilizing the application. Teachers at Langston Chapel Middle School are
aware of the problem; however, they have had a hard time coming up with a plan to solve this
problem.
Instructional Goal
Each teacher will
be more aware that they cannot automatically expect students to know digital etiquette and

The librarian at Langston Chapel Middle School expressed how teachers were struggling with
teaching their students digital etiquette. She described the current problems that were occurring
with the students; and, she informed me that she had been trying to come up with a professional
development session that could be used to help with the problem.
Attitudes Toward Content & Academic Motivation
Based upon informal conversations with some of the teachers at Langston Chapel Middle
School, I could tell that the problem that the librarian identified was a problem that many
teachers were very frustrated with. I could tell that they were at a standstill when it came to
coming up to a solution to the current problem. The eight participants who signed up for the
professional development were very interested in the fact that a professional development
session was going to be presented.
Educational Ability Levels
The participants of this workshop all have a minimum of a T-4 certification from the state of
Georgia at the middle school level. 100% of the learners have a Bachelors degree in a
specialized area(s) in which they teach.
General Learning Preferences
The learners expressed an interest in a collaborative module. They wanted to participate in a
module that allowed them to be active learners. They wanted a professional development
workshop that would provide them with resources that could be used within their classrooms.
Group Characteristics
The participants of this professional development have all been working for Bulloch County at
least one year; four of the participants have been teaching for this school system for more than
10 years. The group includes 75% Caucasian and 25% African American teachers. Like
mentioned before, all participants of this workshop have basic knowledge about technology and
how to use it appropriately.
Part III: Task Analysis
For this professional development session I decided to use the cognitive task analysis. I am
presenting a workshop that will provide teachers with ideas for and reminders of digital etiquette.
We, the teachers and I, will work as a team to discussion possible solutions to the current
problem that is occurring at Langston Chapel Elementary: students abusing their technological
resources. During this workshop, teachers will have to use their judgements and decision-making
skills to identify effective teaching strategies and resources that could be used to teach students
digital etiquette.
