Description:
The Integrating Technology and Curriculum (ITC) workshop is a comprehensive, three day professional development opportunity 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 includes an indepth look at video resources for the classroom--commercial video, instructional television, and digital video. Teachers will also learn how to find and save pictures, sounds and videos ideally suited for teaching.
• Day Two includes an indepth look at Internet resources for the classroom. Teachers will become intimately familiar with and skilled at accessing resources from eMedia, Curriculum Search, Thinkfinity, eThemes, ThemePark and much more; also, Pioneer's World Book Encyclopedia, CultureGrams, EBSCO, Visual Thesaurus, and SIRS Discoverer and Knowledge Source.
• Day Three includes an indepth look at multimedia with an emphasis on PowerPoint as a tool for incorporating educational technology into the classroom and curriculum. Participants review the primary skills associated with content integration, slide design, and transitions. In addition, explore handouts, toolbars, inserting pictures, sounds, and videos, backgrounds, hyperlinking, buttons and action settings and animation techniques.
