Educational Technology Workshops

Teaching with Digital Media
For K - 12 Educator of deaf and hard of hearing students
(3 - 5 day workshop)

Teaching with Digital Media provides teachers of the deaf with the skills necessary to use technology to create instructional projects. Participants will create a digital media project that incorporates video, images, text and audio (if appropriate) using Adobe Premiere Elements video editing software. The workshop will showcase some examples and introduce various Web 2.0 tools (Delicious, Flickr, Jing and more) and hardware (Smart Board, camcorders and webcams) that support technology integration in your classroom. During the hands-on sessions, you'll learn some basic techniques for making and manipulating digital media, and learn ways to enrich your teaching with digital media. We will also explore some ideas for developing digital media assignments for your students. The end result will be the acquisition of new skills and a video that will complement your teaching. All work will be done on the Windows platform.
