Teaching with Technology Part II
This course takes technology to the next level whether it is for teaching in the traditional class or online. Are you interested in learning how to create electronic videos for or of your lectures? Would you like to add animation to your presentations to emphasize concepts? Is it possible to use digital cameras to enhance student understanding? Have you wanted a video of how to use the TI calculator that can be put on your web site? The course can help you do it! Bring any existing documentation for a course you want to ‘technogize” (technology + energize) and get ready for a time of creation!
