Description:
The Integrating Technology and Curriculum 1 (ITC 1) workshop is a partnership among districts, USOE and UEN. This professional development opportunity is designed to help classroom teachers understand how to effectively integrate technology into their curriculum and classroom. The workshop focuses on the how's and why's of incorporating video, the Internet, and multimedia resources into lesson plans and classroom environments.

Day One: Understand basics of multimedia in the classroom, including the first baby steps to creating a multimedia presentation. We review file management in the context of building resources throughout the workshop and saving them on workshop-provided USB drives.

Participants see and practice strategies for effectively incorporating video in their classrooms, with an emphasis on accessing digital video available to Utah teachers at no cost through eMedia. After discussing copyright, participants learn how to find and save pictures, sounds and videos ideally suited for teaching and appropriate to incorporate in their own multimedia presentations.

Day Two: Take an in-depth look at Internet resources for the classroom. Participants become intimately familiar with and skilled at accessing resources from the state Curriculum Search database, Thinkfinity, PBS TeacherSource, eThemes and much more; also, from the Pioneer Online Library we explore World Book Encyclopedia, CultureGrams, EBSCO, SIRS databases and other high-quality research resources.

Participants further develop the presentations they began on day one and add pictures, sound, video and other features as needed. Time is provided for work on individual multimedia projects.

Note: UEN and USOE have limited funding to provide lunches and, when required, substitute reimbursement for the ITC workshops. These items are coordinated through each hosting district. Credit is available and processed through UEN.
