Digital Storytelling
Actively engage students and boost reading and

create stories and use powerful digital tools to plan
the stories, shoot, edit, and then share the stories
with a global audience. Tied to the curriculum, the
storytelling experience provides groups of students the
creative opportunity to bring together a story in a
unique way. This is a one credit hour class through
Aurora University

technology in mathematics class. We will explore a digital
filing cabinet filled with resources including WebQuests and
collaborative projects, free online games, virtual
manipulatives, assessment tools and web sites filled with
practical ways to liven up your math class. The focus will be
on resources and assessments that align to the Illinois Learning
Standards. All of these resources have been organized for you

Web site will contain practical Timesaving Technology Tips to
share with your colleagues back at school.

Support for the Struggling Reader
“It
was fun. We played ball. The end.” Meet the reluctant
writer! You need new strategies and tools to help these
students express themselves. You may not have been trained as a
reading and writing teacher, but every teacher is a teacher of
reading and writing. We know many of our students can’t read
the textbook, so what strategies can you use to teach reading in
the content areas? With a focus on technology tools that can
help, you will learn about effective searching for alternate
text, tools in software that can be used in new ways, and online
resources to improve reading and writing. Classroom tested
management strategies will be included. |
