Title:
Technology Enhancing
Educational Communications
Workshop Description:
Electronic communications are becoming more prevalent in
high school curricula. This workshop will include several hands-on
activities
to engage teachers in course management systems and many communication
tools
such as email, listservs, and discussion boards. We will collaborate in
groups
to develop skills to apply to your particular curriculum. You will
become comfortable
with the application of online resources for information analysis and
creative
projects. Participant will leave with practical strategies for the
integration
of computer-mediated communications with a sense of comfort and
integral importance.
Prerequisites:
Participants must have word document skills as well as basic
Web browsing and email ability. Be familiar with Internet research
sites in
your subject area. Also, bring an example of what may be an important
and
valuable Web-site to integrate into your curriculum in some way. Be
prepared to
present that site and explain why you chose it. Other specific content
of the
workshop will be tailored to the needs of the participants.
Duration:
3 Days
Who should attend:
Educators interested in integrating technology not only into
the classroom curriculum but also as a means to promote learning and
communications to continue beyond the classroom setting for learners of
all
types.
Framing Question:
How can we integrate technology into the curriculum to
extend communications with students in and out of the classroom in
order to
address each individual learner within the whole learning experience
when the
availability of these tools does not guarantee meaningful use and
practice and
attempts to do so often result in frustration?
