Engaging, Fun and Integrated For All...

Have you ever felt, through the course of the day that you sometimes fell overwhelmed with all that is required of you as a teacher?  Especially when you have to monitor and maintain technology usage in your classroom.  Through the course of this website you will be given ideas / resources that will drive you to be more creative when developing technology based lessons for your students.  Producer For PowerPoint gives you a variety of skills that can be used in many different applications.  Developing Producer based lessons will give you that extra link that you have been missing in your lessons.  These lessons can be created by the instructor as well as the students.  From the students standpoint, Producer gives them a way to interactively learn what is being taught.  Under Producer Demonstrations you will be able to view example projects that have been used by all grade levels and by different presenters.  This site is not only useful for Producer skills, but it will also direct you to use some of the different software that is provided to us by the IISD.  Please be encouraged that if you don't plan to use Producer, there are other avenues in which you can create interactive lessons for your students / faculty to become involved in.

Classroom Management

A key proponent to the development of a well planned lesson is classroom management.  Before you start to develop your lesson you need to answer a few questions pertaining to classroom management and technology:

What is the usage of technology in your classroom?
What is your plan to manage/monitor students on computers?
What rules need to be implemented?
What do you do if a student doesn't have a computer?
What do you do if a student is using his/her computer inappropriately?
