An Educator s Guide to Exploring Our Communities and Traditions provides teachers creative ways to effectively use computers in the classroom while using readily available folk culture resources. To help teachers learn how to use these new resources, the Louisiana Division of the Arts in partnership with the Louisiana Center for Educational Technology and the Louisiana Alliance for Arts Education is providing interactive workshops and institutes to give teachers tools for use in the classroom. Workshops may be tailored to each school or district s needs that are either technology-integrated or folklife focused.
Additional workshops are available to Louisiana schools on a per site basis.
Once grant funds are spent, the workshops will still be available, but at higher rates. In addition, the Louisiana Voices Project will offer two five-day teacher training institutes in June.
