A teacher-made website is not only a source of great
personal pride, but the most contemporary way to post
daily homework assignments, link to content-related
online materials, and post calendars or announcements.
Web-wise teachers improve parent communication
through 24-hour access to content and important information.
Most importantly, a teacher website is a teaching
tool that can be utilized on a daily basis to differentiate
for all types of learners.
Many teachers MISTAKENLY think a website is difficult
to create and time-consuming to maintain. Actually,
creating a simple, functional website is no more difficult
than creating a Word document! Once online, a website
takes as little as five minutes a day to update.
More advanced participants can also improve upon an
existing web site with tips and tricks to keep it simple,
functional and easy to maintain. Participants can also
learn how to develop innovative online projects that
have the potential to be paper-free.
Teachers in any subject area and any grade level will
benefit from both the flexible, individualized instruction
during the course and some valuable time to actually
build the site.
Bring your laptop if desired.

This course allows technology-confident educators to be incredibly efficient. All software in this course is free to all school districts. Software includes Moodle and Hot Potatoes. Moodle is comparable to Blackboard. It allows online posting of homework, resources, discussion forums and collecting/grading of student work, and much more.
Hot potatoes allows users to create multiple choice, matching, fill-in-the-blank, and short answer questions. Both applications work together, grade student responses, offer student feedback and provide test item analysis with a click of a button. This course is perfect for teachers in grades 5 through 12.

Make Room for My Room
A Math Workshop for grades 5-8
Back by popular demand from the Midwest!
Cheri Eck,
Box Cars and OneEyed Jacks and “
Queen of Hearts” Consultant
Cheri wrote this unit out of frustration with her student’s lack of skill using measurement. Come prepared to learn how to implement this unit that immerses students in measurement (using the master ruler) while utilizing other math skills such as operations, percents, area, problem solving and more! This unit is great for “real life math” applications! Participants will leave with a finished project to use as an example for their students as they implement this unit.
Location: Sibley Hall, Room 319
Date: October 9, 2007
Time: 8:00am. to 3:00pm
