Transform your classroom experience with innovative technology! In this session, we explore how new tools like interactive whiteboards, projectors, and document cameras can enhance your teaching strategies and engage students like never before. Learn about the three stages of technology installation and the required training that will ensure you're ready to utilize these resources effectively. With research supporting technology in education and compensatory training after school hours, there’s no reason not to embrace this change! Let’s create an exciting learning environment together.

Revitalize Your Instruction with New Technology Jeremy Quilter EDUC 533: Josh Fischer July 6, 2010
Maybe they think you look like this. ↓ ↑ Or talk like this guy.
I bet we can make that happen! But you have to do a few things. You say you’ll do anything? Well, here’s the deal…
It’s time for a change. NO MORE USING THIS OLD TECHNOLOGY!
It’s time for the 21st Century! New technology is coming to the district. We will receive interactive whiteboards, ceiling-mounted projectors, document cameras, new computers, and DVD/VCR players. There will be three stages of installation and all users must be trained on the new equipment.
Now, you may be saying to yourself… “Why in the #&!! are we spending money on that crap?! I’ll never use it.” Or “OOOOO… I want that! Can I have that? Plleeeeeaaaaasssssse!!”
Here’s the deal… • The new technology has been purchased with bond money. • Research heavily supports technology in the classroom. • Training is after school and your time is compensated.
And the BIGGEST question… • Why not do something that will improve instructional strategies, engage students, and help children learn? • Come to the trainings. They will be worth it. Your instruction will improve and your students will be engaged.
