Teaching
with Technology
Welcome to a new online University of Northern Iowa Teacher
Competencies Workshop. In this workshop we will
examine how technology can be used to enhance the curriculum
in the K-12 classroom.
In the last decade, technology has become wonderfully accessible
to teachers, students, parents, and the entire general public
in most countries. More exciting than technology itself is
how it can be applied in the K-12 classroom.
This class surveys applications of "Office" products,
email, electronic information sources, video conferencing,
and multimedia presentation software. We will examine best
practices using the technologies, and students will develop
a technology-based lesson plan. Students will also address
issues of ethics in using technology in the classroom.
Participants will analyze WWW resources and have opportunities
for Web-based interaction, collaboration, and communication
that extend the boundaries of the classroom. The workshop
is designed for K-12 teachers, student teachers, administrators,
media specialists, and curriculum consultants. Cooperating
teachers and student teachers may participate as learning
partners.
Conducted completely online with no face-to-face class sessions,
this workshop allows you to participate from your home or
school computer 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
