What can you do with a classroom full of
students and only one computer? Can the computer make a difference
with student achievement? How will it affect your teaching
strategies? How do you manage the rest of the students while a few
are at the computer?
This 5 hour workshop will try to answer these questions. Plan
on having some hands-on time with Kid Pix, ClarisWorks,
Hyperstudio and Inspiration. Walk away with demo disks of
Hyperstudio and Inspiration. You will also have time to work with
and evaluate some curriculum software that is appropriate for your
grade level. As a K-8 teacher, you need these tips,
time-management strategies, project ideas and classroom set-up
suggestions. Bring an open mind and a willingness to try new
things. Some introductory computer experience required.
