Day 2:

Morning session: Faculty Development and the Successful Integration of Technology in Teaching. We'll discuss the changing expectations of teachers and teaching that have come with the proliferation of multimedia and networked computers, and review some successful and perhaps not so successful models for teaching with the new technologies. We'll also discuss issues raised by different models of professional development for teachers concerned with the the principled and innovative use of new technologies.

Afternoon session: Lab #1. In the first of two laboratory sessions devoted to improving participants' familiarity and facility with computer-based tools for education, and the production and assessment of electronic curriculum, we'll address the specific technical questions raised in the pre-Workshop questionnaire, and begin working individually and/or in small groups to create and/or evaluate computer-based curricular modules and programs.
