Our First Online Course!
Abbey and I are pleased to announce the availability of our first ever online professional development course: "Teaching With Technology". This 12-week online professional development is focused on the use of 21st century technologies in the classroom. We will cover a wide variety of topics, with an emphasis on immediate implementation in the classroom. In English - you learn something, AND how to teach with it. We will cover the following tools:
- Creating your home page
- Video and pictures in the classroom
- Blogging
- Wikis
- Podcasts
- Collaborative document editing
- Online research
- Social networking
- Cyber-bullying
- Cell phones in the classroom
For each of the tools, you will create something for use in your classroom. We will also focus on collaborating with other teachers and sharing ideas.
