  2. Agenda • Introductions • Flip-Flopping between PPP/Online Packet • Focus questions, rationale, commandments • Demonstrations of software, Internet sites, projects • How to make instructions: Print Screen, Paint, and Word • Practice making directions for software, sites, and Word • Regroup to talk about your experience on the computer • Review of major points and final comments • Dinner

  3. “It’s OK!”“Everyone is at some stage on the path of technology awareness. Identify the stages represented in your audience and be prepared to address each stage. Attempt to determine this through observation, conference, or interview. It is important to remember — and possibly to even convey to the audience — that wherever one is, it is ok.” (Edvancenet Consortium) http://www.edvancenet.org/

  4. Focus Questions(Or where are you?) • How much experience have you had using computers to teach? • What are some concerns you have about bringing a class to an ESL computer lab? • This seems like a lot of effort, what are some advantages to using computers versus traditional books to teach or augment a lesson? • Survey for students on p. 4 of online packet (All page #’s refer to the packet)

  5. Rationale and Strategies for Helping Teachers and Students Get Into, Through, and Beyond the Computer Lab (p.64)

  6. “Show Me The ….” • Students know that having computer skills improves their chances at work and school. • Barry Bakin, a recognized ESL/technology authority, says that students’ acquisition of technology skills contributes to the students’, teachers’, and schools’ economic success, because it increases students’ employability, program attendance, and CASAS /ELCIVICS benchmarks. He also says using technology makes him a better teacher.(p. 30, 64) www.ecc6.blogspot.com http://www.authorstream.com/Presentation/bbogage-33079-mirna-el-civics-32-visual-aid-job-presentation-education-ppt-powerpoint/

  7. More Rationale For Teachers and Students • “(ESL)Technology integration is ‘constructivist’ in nature: it emerges from student needs and skills and puts students in the role of active participants in authentic, intentional, reflective, cooperative and creative learning situations.” Marian Thacher, Director of the California OUTREACH TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE NETWORK (OTAN) • Background Reading in the handout for you to read later. This was also my plan B if the technology had failed today. Always have a plan B…

  9. Into • Begin your lesson planning as you normally would - with the end in mind. Skills: “Students will learn P I vocab.
