What does a teacher offer to students for bringing TECHNOLOGY into the CLASSROOM? Go to TECH ESOL GO TO TECHESOL Large type Go to TECHNET links 1. Every student needs to have an email address for giving to other people (a throw-away email address like yahoo.omc or hotmail.com) 2. Every student needs a FREE web site with their resume on it. tripod.com, angelfire.com and oocities.com are easy to use. 3. Every student needs to know how to make a Power Point presentation. 4. Every student needs to know how to convert a Microsoft WORD document into a WEB PAGE and then burn it on a CD. 5. Every student needs to know where to find tutorials on line. Any teacher who does not know how to do these things can send their students to this web page... then the student can ask neighbors and colleagues "How do I _________?" and it will happen! |
