iKids -Technologies and Multimedia Carry the Curriculim

This online course is designed to deliver our regional workshop, iKids - Technologies & Multimedia Carry the Curriculum, a one-day (7-hour) workshop, via distance learning.  Rather than physically traveling to a site and participating in face-to-face discussions and activities with fellow attendees, you will gain your knowledge via a variety of approaches:

• Online lessons delivered via text, video and audio formats

• Conducting your case study analyses online rather than in small discussion groups

• Presenting your findings and demonstrating your learning online rather than in person

• If enrolled with a team, you will be able to share your ideas in a Collaboration web page set up for your team

• You will receive individualized support via email from the facilitator.

Upon the conclusion of this workshop/course, and the presentation of your product, you will receive the same certificate of completion as participants who have attended this workshop on-site in various cities.  This may be presented to your school district for credit toward professional development hours.  Certificates are for 7 hours of professional development.

The pluses are that you will be able to conduct your studies on your own schedule and hours, and you will save money on air fare, hotels and meals.

The minuses are that you will not have the face-to-face interaction with other educators as they study, discuss, plan and share.
