[LM_NET] TARGET: Tech Tips for Teachers

[Shonda Brisco <sbrisco@FWCDS.ORG>]

We are planning to present some mini-workshops for our teachers next fall and 
discovered that many of them do not know about or are even aware of some of the 
"technologies" available to them.  (Flash drives; websites such as Flickr, Mappr; 
use of software programs such as powerpoint).

We hope to put together a "how to" manual / hand-out on things broken down into 
specific groups such as:  Classroom sofware (such Powerpoint, Word, email, etc.); 
Websites (such as Flickr, Blogger, etc.) and so on.

If you have already created something like this, would you mind sharing some of the 
concepts or materials that you've presented?  Our teachers have range of abilities 
but we'd like to be able to bring most of them "up to speed" on some of the basic 
things and make them aware of what our students are already using.

If you could share your ideas, I'd appreciate it.  I'll be creating this document 
over the summer and we'll have it posted on our website by next fall.  When it's 
there, I'll send you a link to browse or download it for your own use!

Thanks for sharing!
