WORKSHOP: Google and Beyond
The word "Google" was once the name of an Internet search engine. Today, Google is not only a search engine, but a company that provides many online tools to internet users. Last year, participants learned where to find out about Google's latest technologies and how to use some of these tools. |
This year, we'll take a look at how some of Google's search tools have changed as well as some of the cooler new tools that are available. You'll also see new ways to obtain information--as we are no longer tied to using search engines to find information. Instead, we'll investigate the use of layers and RSS (really simple syndication) in conjunction with Google Earth (GE) which will allow us to access information from a geographic perspective--and have it displayed globally. Imagine reading the news--not in a newspaper, not on a web page, but reading it from the location where it is taking place!
Join us and learn how you can use Google tools to find the information you want and Google Earth to help your students make global connections to your instructional content.
To prepare for this workshop, please be sure that you have downloaded Google Earth. If your computer does not meet the minimum system requirements for running Google Earth, be sure to check out a conference computer.
This is not a repeat of last year's workshop, new tools, new topics.

WORKSHOP: Online Writing Process
Email, discussion groups, chat, blogs, wiki, and numerous (expensive) Learning Management Systems (i.e. Blackboard, WebCT, Desire2Learn) are all tools that support online teaching and learning. |
WriteSite is the inexpensive solution for managing content area writing in grades 3 through post high school. Pure and simple, WriteSite provides teachers and students a secure environment to post and discuss writing, to critically read and respond to writing, and to revise, publish and anthologize their writing via the Internet. You will leave with a free, fully-functioning, version of WriteSite that you may adapt to your writing program. Your students, their parents, and you will love it. Materials supporting WriteSite abound, and feedback from teachers drives each successive update. And because WriteSite supports any language using the "Roman" alphabet, teachers in ELL and foreign language programs are adapting WriteSite to their programs as well. Why not join us and be part of this powerful tool's development?
