Designed for elementary and secondary teachers and school librarians, instruction will focus on the skills and methods necessary to implement computer and digital applications within the curriculum. Methods for managing the computer in the classroom such as courseware implementation, word processing, databases, e-books, spreadsheets, and telecommunications within the classroom will be addressed and the use of “free” resources such as open-source software, the National Science Digital Library (NSDL), the International Children’s Digital Library (ICDL) will be emphasized. Instruction on integrating these technologies and resources into the major content areas (i.e. English language arts, science, math, social studies), engaging community resources (i.e. museums, archive collections, and research facilities), and collaborative projects utilizing curriculum instruction will be a major aspect of the course which will reflect the needs of the participants and their schools and use the constructivist philosophy of learning - See more at: http://lis.unt.edu/leadership-professional-development#sthash.xjMVQXLC.dpuf
