COLLABORATE AND INTEGRATE REAL TIME

INSTRUCTOR(S): Velvet Holmes, Prairie View Elementary, Oregon
GRADE LEVEL:  K-6
 

K-6 teachers, come, learn and share how to integrate the Information and Technology Literacy State Standards into your curriculum.  We will learn about manipulating graphics and text boxes in a word processor to create books, brochures, and other desktop publishing creations.  Activities using graphing and entering data and formulas into spreadsheets can be fun and very useful in many areas of curriculum.  The internet is always a fun place to visit for curriculum materials.  I will share my favorite sites for teachers to find curriculum and activities and some resourceful ways to find good sites for kids.  We will explore Google Groups and docs.  We will also touch on creating a very basic web page for your students to utilize.  I will share my templates and activities and you will have time to explore and create activities to meet your classroom needs.  Be ready to learn and share your ideas with us!

Participants of this class will:

	Understand the difference between a word processor, spreadsheet, and multimedia program and how to best use the program to meet their curricular needs.
	Understand how the Internet works and how to navigate successfully.
	Integrate the Wisconsin Model Academic Standards for Information and Technology Literacy into their curriculum.
	Create templates in a variety of programs to use with their students.
