Day 8 – GPS Training

{Date}

Agenda• What will you find on

GeorgiaStandards.Org (GSO)?

• What can you do with the new Web tools?

Disintermediation

Disintermediation is the idea that as technology becomes more advanced, users will no longer require assistance to use it.

The development of the Internet has revealed a very different story.

As the Web becomes more complex, users need more help to find what they want.

The purpose of GLC was to be the ‘middle man’ and help teachers find educational materials and resources. The same is true with the new GeorgiaStandards.org website.

• More than 5,000,000 unique visitors this year

• 16,807 registered users

• Used internationally as well as across America

Statistics from GLC

Time for Change

• GLC has served its purpose; however, with the development of the GPS, it is time to update the website.

• GLC will continue to be active as we develop the new site; although, new lesson plans and other materials will not be added to the old site.
