SEATING LIMITED TO 25 PARTICIPANTS

You should attend if:

You are interested in and intrigued but still intimidated by technology.

You have been asked by a student who won’t be able to make to class next week if she could email you her homework as an attachment. And what format do you prefer: Word, WordPerfect or Rich Text?

You are afraid that you have already "missed the boat" on technology and think you could never catch up (yes, you can!)

You are worried that to become proficient you will have to invest a gigantic amount of time and energy (no, you don’t have to.)

The workshop will address nuts-and-bolts issues of FL Teaching

Using email for group projects, pen-pal projects and listserve discussions.

Using chatrooms activities and and bulletin board discussions (asynchronous) in your teaching.

Helping students to conduct searches (guided, open, scavenger hunt) in FL original Websites.

Creating your homepage on the Web without having to study one single line of html.

Finding and using COURSE MANAGEMENT PROGRAMS, and why you need them.

Creating your classroom materials directly in Web-ready format, viewable anywhere in the world.
