This course is designed specifically for the
classroom teacher. It will explain how to integrate technology into your lesson
plans. In addition, you will learn methods for planning student research based
projects.
There are 3 major parts to practical applications
of technology in the classroom.
-The first is to use any program as an electronic blackboard. Both teachers
and students can use this approach during presentations of material.
-The second is to use the computer program in the manner that it was designed
to enhance teacher and student made teaching materials.
-The third is to use technology in its fullest for project-centered, research
based, collaborative approach to learning.
Students will use many types of technology to
create a project/presentation on a classroom topic. All these approaches necessitate
a computer hooked to a large screen monitor of some sort for classroom display.

web pages and maintaining a web site. The first day will cover an understanding
of the concept of a web page, design considerations, text and graphic concerns

The second day will cover adding interesting
fonts, images and hyperlinks to the first page. Also viewing pages in browsers
and uploading pages to servers will be covered.

would be of interest: watermarks, thumbnails, tables, layers, forms, frames,
multimedia, rollovers, wizards, themes, excel, log vistors/counters, metatags/keywords,
scrolling marquee, getting noticed by search engines, gimmicks/splash pages,
color psychology and registering domain names.
