Integrate Interactive Technology in Your Class
9:30-11:30 A.M. - Friday, January 15
***Please arrive 15 minutes early. The workshop begins promptly at 9:30 A.M.
This workshop will demonstrate how to integrate easy-to-use Web 2.0 technologies in the classroom that promote asynchronous and synchronous interaction. These include blogs, online chat, podcasts, wikis, and video conferencing. This will be a hands-on session, allowing everyone to participate in collaborative-style activities, create sample lessons, tasks, and projects. Our goal is to have a proactive session, with plenty of application of these tools and to share ideas that you can use during your next class. Please bring your laptop, tablet, or mobile device. We will also open floor for discussion about additional and alternate uses of technologies, such as cloud-based systems.
