The kick-off, involving the administrator and entire teaching staff, enables teachers to see what resources are available to them in their particular school and provide them with the pedagogy behind technology integration. Post kick-off, the EduTech partner works with three to five teachers one-on-one. Each teacher designs, modifies and integrates a technology-based activity into some part of their curriculum. A requirement of the class is that each teacher is to mentor one other teacher. Upon request, more than one wave of teachers can be taken through this process for an additional charge. In order for this program to be successful, the school administrator/principal must be involved in all phases by attending a kick-off session with the entire staff, observing the process, and being present when the lesson or activity is implemented in the classroom. The administrator also offers support, encourages the teachers to complete the course requirements, and identifies possible ways to sustain the integration momentum. A graduate credit is available, for an additional charge, to the three to five teachers participating. http://www.edutech.nodak.edu/training/graduate_credit/ Charity Nix <charity.nix@sendit.nodak.edu> Thu, 21 Jan 2010 15:53:13 -0600 http://www.edutech.nodak.edu/training/session/?session=2707 http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/edutech/workshops/~3/cPZXidQqg2o/ This class will provide participants with the real hands-on experience they will need to integrate the SMART Board into lessons.
