Whether you are teaching online or in a traditional classroom, your teaching is being affected by technology. These workshops will provide you with the knowledge and experience necessary for integrating technology with teaching in the traditional classroom as well as on line. Moreover, you will become part of a support network that will give you the confidence and resources to use technology successfully in your teaching. Each of these interactive workshops is taught by an experienced online teacher.
Participants work on teaching projects of their choice and receive individual reviews of their work.
Current computer technology makes it possible for students and teachers to use word processing, e-mail, and the World Wide Web to complete course assignments. We will also explore ways of using e-mail as a writing space, as a conference space, as a classroom supplement and as a means of asynchronous public discourse. We will practice using the word processor as writing space, as teaching space, as a revision toolbox, as a medium of collaboration, and as a desktop publisher. You will respond to a sample student paper by using the editing tools and comments feature in Word. We will see how technology can expand instruction to meet the needs of students with diverse learning styles, including students with disabilities.
