Agenda

1. Introduction of mentors and our goals for you.  Before you leave here in four weeks:

A. You will feel more comfortable with technology and how to use it in your school.
B. Create a personal page, web based lesson plan and a list of URLs relevant to your teaching.
C. You should feel comfortable asking questions.
D. You should know places to find information and how to search for the rest.
E. You should be able to upload with ease-  ftp vs. http
F. You should feel comfortable borrowing ideas for using telecommunications in your setting because:
  • You can just "plug and play" someone else's plan.
  • You can tweak ideas or lessons to make them become what you need.
  • You will become an architect of your student's learning.
2. Introduction of participants
A. Your goals/what do you expect from this 4 week seminar?
B.  Share a brief background information about yourself
C.  Share how you've used computers in the past- personally and educationally.
D.  Tell something unique about yourself that will help everyone remember who you are.
3. Click on  Introduction to WIT Basics and see what is in store for you!
4.  Questions about what we're doing so far - there is no such thing as a dumb question!
5.  If we need to cover Computer Basics, now is the time to begin!
6.  Be introduced to the Internet and a web browser.  Let's see how well you've listened! 7.  Wrap-up - think about what you want on your personal homepage. See Ellen's
