Cal Hobson Teachers and Technology for Tomorrow Workshops
Funded through a grant from the SBC Foundation
Training provided through UCO College of Education and Professional Studies
Center for Teaching Excellence

Grant Goals
• Promote the integration of technology into the Pre K – 12 curriculum
• Support classroom teachers as they develop technology enhanced lessons
• Offer professional development that includes infusion of technology into the math classroom

What Does That Mean
Ten area schools have been selected to participate in the grant and receive a free 30 hour on-site technology training workshop for teachers and administrators during summer 2006. The workshop format uses an interactive hands-on approach with customized training modules, so teachers learn best practices for how, when, and where technology can enhance student learning.

Workshop Overview
Technology integration, curriculum enhancement, and differentiated instruction are essential to high quality professional development. Through the Cal Hobson Teachers and Technology for Tomorrow Grant (CHT3) teachers learn how, when, and where to incorporate technology tools and resources into their current curriculum with the goal of enhancing their students’ learning experience. They develop new technology skills and learn new ways to support their curriculum. This workshop incorporates hands-on use of the Internet and a customized curriculum to meet your school’s specific needs.

Goals
Each workshop is customized to meet the needs and technology skills of each participating school. As teachers progress through this workshop; they collaborate with other teachers and discuss ideas for both introducing and using technology in the classroom. Participating teachers develop projects based upon material they are already teaching or will teach in the future. The goal is for each teacher to leave the workshop prepared to effectively implement a technology-rich learning activity that engages students in effective use of technology to achieve.
