TECH TREK: The Next Generation

• Are you looking to push the “technology integration envelope” and to go where no teacher has gone before?

• Are you ready to explore new educational  technology frontiers?

• Are you ready to move beyond the basics and to take your students on exciting educational adventures using technology in new, innovative and pedagogically sound ways?
  
  If you answered yes (or even maybe) to any one of these questions, then Tech Trek: The Next Generation is the place for you.

Scheduled for July 28-August 1, Tech Trek: The Next Generation promises to be one of the best educational technology integration events on the planet, or at least in this part of Virginia.

Topics that will be covered include:
 

• Teaching online using Desire to Learn;
• Creating multimedia presentations incorporating digital video, animation, and sound;
• Advanced uses of databases and spreadsheets integrating realtime data.

• A variety of new and emerging technologies, such as wireless networking, podcasting, blogs, and streaming video, will also be highlighted.

Although the formal instructional sessions assume that you understand the basics and will move at a brisk pace, the instructors are more than willing to conduct refresher sessions on specific topics on an ad hoc basis throughout the week.Take your educational technology skills to the next level by attending Tech Trek: The Next Generation.  Contact your local C.I.I. Rep or C.I.I. Services Participant Rep to register. Due to the regional NCLB EdTech grant, Tech Trek: TNG is FREE to C.I.I. Members, but space is limited and you must go through your local C.I.I. representative to register.Graduate credit is also available but at additional cost.

(NOTE: Successful completion of Tech Trek: TNG includes the submission of a technology infused lesson plan.)
