39. Factors that facilitate the project
We have studied some of the programs in some
courses.
We already have teaching practice this semester,
and that help us in the need assessment and the
evaluation of the project.
Contacting with some teachers from the Ministry,
especially from the Educational Technology and
Human Resources Departments.
Contacting some experts from the CET, especially
from the photography and Video and Sound
Departments.
Contacting some experts from Twitter.
40. Constrains:
Website Name
Preparing a big amount of tutorials in a short
period of time.
Website Photographs.
Animation Design.
In designing the website, we use weebly.com,
and we couldn't use all of the features because
some of them are not free.
In project implementation, only few teachers
attended a sample of teachers.
41. Recommendations:
It’s recommended for the Ministry of
Education to start using E-training for teachers
not just providing the workshops content in the
e-content section in there website.
We hope that this project will be
implemented by the Ministry, and if that
happen, the website will be continually
updated and more workshops will be added.
