“Technology for Teaching and Learning” is a “hands on the keyboards” workshop on using technology for the teaching and learning of writing, and it is designed for Composition, English, and Language Arts teachers K-College. We will have extensive in-class activities designed to learn how to use a variety of internet applications in present and future teaching– email, web sites, blogs, wikis, bookmarking sites, image sharing sites, podcasting, online video, and so forth. Students will build their own basic web sites and complete a post-class exercise on using technology in their teaching.
No previous experience with the technologies covered in this class will be necessary; in fact, that’s kind of the point. This workshop is designed to give writing teachers at all levels the kinds of hands-on experience with computers they need to better incorporate technology into their teaching. The course will begin online June 28, 2010 and will meet “face to face” in beautiful Traverse City, Michigan from Saturday, July 24 through Friday, July 30.
The class is a continuing education course offered as part of of EMU’s Traverse City program. Visit this web site for lots more information on registering, accommodations, etc.
