On-Site
Regional Sessions:
Two regional
sessions will be held (one in December and one in April) at sites that will

Skill
Expectations:
This
program is geared for pre-service and classroom teachers from schools serving
American Indians. The course will provide
for the integration of instructional technology into classroom curriculum
through many hands-on exercises. Due
to the nature of this course (two weeks on campus, eight months of individual
studies with two additional class meetings), certain basic skill expectations
must be realized. To insure a positive
program experience, the attendee must have a basic familiarity with the Microsoft
Office suite, email, word processing, web navigation, etc. In-depth training will not be offered with any
software application, nor will the training be platform specific. All attempts will be made by the program to
ensure that the platform that is in predominate use at your school will be
utilized.
Program emphasis is on integration
of instructional technology into teaching and learning. Participants WILL NOT be grouped according to
skill and will be expected to take personal responsibility for their professional
growth during program activities.
