History Education Hawaii, Inc., has learned from EdTechTeacher.org that a professional development workshop is being offered for history and social studies teachers. Hawaii teachers are strongly recommended to register:
The 10th-annual Teaching History With Technology Workshop is an intensive three-day, hands-on opportunity for history and social studies educators to explore practical ways to use technology to enrich their history curricula and engage students. The workshop explores innovative ideas, effective techniques, and ready-made plans for incorporating Web-based resources, desktop software packages, and emerging technologies into the classroom instruction of history.
The workshop provides numerous examples of the best history-related web sites, describes practical methods and techniques for using technology in the history and social studies classroom, and includes opportunities for targeted web exploration after each "mini" lesson. Examples highlight both inquiry-based and research-oriented technology applications in World History, World Cultures, United States History, and Civics for middle school, high school, and college. The workshop emphasizes innovative ideas and exciting projects for incorporating Web 2.0 tools including wikis, blogs, podcasts, Google Docs, social networks, and other emerging technologies into the classroom.
This workshop will be offered June 27-29 and July 30-August 1, 2012. For more information, such as scheduling, bios of instructors, registration and payment, go to this link today. http://edtechteacher.org/index.php/professional-development/summer-workshops/37-thwt
