Description:
Participants will be asked to use the informal polling system to
determine who is using technology in their classrooms at the
present time. Participants will have a group discussion to describe
how they are currently using technology in their classrooms.
Participants will view a slide show presentation of innovative
ways and programs to use in their classrooms. There will also be a
video clip (approximately 4 min) for the participants to view along
with the slide show presentation.
After viewing the slide show presentation, participants will
collaborate through discussion on ideas of how they would like to
use or could use the ideas presented. Participants will provide
feedback on the workshop and complete a survey.
Extension Idea:
Participants will create a lesson plan for the classroom that
incorporates a new method of technology.
Teaching Tips:
Give examples of using technology in the classroom. This will
lead the participants to having some background knowledge of how
they can possibly use the technology presented in the
classroom.
Encourage teachers to have an open mind when approaching
technology in their lessons.
Remind teachers to look for innovative ideas and approaches to
teaching lessons instead of just updating previously taught
activities.
Extra:
Participants will complete a survey based on the effectiveness
of the information presented during the workshop.
