Below are 8 steps that myself and other teachers have followed and found to be very helpful in using technology in our 1 computer classrooms. Step 1 Step 2 Teach your students how to type at the beginning of the year. If they have an idea where the keys are, they will take less time hunting and pecking when they are on the computer. You can use a typing tutor on CD like Mavis Beacon.
Using Research In The Classroom for utilizing research in the classroom, can be them find sources for their research project and take of a paragraph (opening/main idea, supporting sentences http://www.inspiringteachers.com/tips/research/
Extractions: Research can be a very effective teaching tool if done correctly. Many teachers immediately shy away from doing research projects with students due to either horror stories from colleagues, or to being unsure about the whole research process. Here are some tips to help you introduce the research project and implement it on a regular basis in your classroom. The process begins way before you ever introduce the idea of research to your students. You need to decide what you ultimately want from your students when they turn in their research project. What elements do you want to see? What will be graded? Here are a few sample elements in a research project:

Invention & Design: Introduction involved in the development of new ideas and/or the use of I D resources in classroom environments include teaching notes, suggestions for projects, and various http://www.iath.virginia.edu/~meg3c/id/id_intro.html
Extractions: Introduction We are is dedicated to the development of the best possible materials, however, we realize the need to meet the requirements of users. In this spirit, we request that you contact us with questions, information requests, and/or comments Development of materials in this project was supported by grants from the National Science Foundation, the Fund for the Improvement of Post-Secondary Education, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Geraldine R. Dodge Foundation. , Division of Technology, Culture and Communication, at the University of Virginia Instead of defining Invention and Design at the outset, we prefer to rely on cases to illustrate how difficult it is to bound these activities by formal definitions. In our view, invention and design are on a continuum; at one extreme are acts of invention that are so novel they seem like a major leap, and on the other are incremental changes in designs that are tightly constrained by specs. In between is a large gray area where design gradually shades into invention. Our materials also include references to, and research on, scientific discovery because invention often involves discovery, and to discover, scientists have to invent new procedures and technology. The Invention and Design project is intended to be used by anyone interested in the topics involvedwe have tried to make the materials as accessible as possible to a wide audience, including teachers, students, managers, inventors and designers. But clearly our emphasis is on potential educational applications. Specifically, we have developed several modules which are intended to be used in coordination with classroom curricula. For example, the Telephone Module is idealy suited for use in a science/physics class; incorporting concepts such as electricity, communication, light, etc., as well as introducing the Invention and Design concepts. More information on educational applications of the individual modules is available on the

Extractions: Auburn University at Montgomery "The significant problems we face cannot be solved at the same level of thinking we were at when we created them." Albert Einstein A major criticism (too often justified) of business schools is that we teach "conventional business wisdom" and provide the analytic tools to make "rational" decisions. Too often we test by some combination of multiple-guess questions, short answer regurgitation, and possibly some few problems designed to demonstrate mastery of the basic quantitative skills. As we reach the point where virtually all firms have at least one young bright MBA who has been schooled in these techniques, we lose any competitive advantage over other disciplines where creation of new concepts is considered more important. We as professors are too often trained almost exclusively in the use of these left-brained methods. If we are to regain leadership in the development of tomorrow's marketing leaders, we must shift emphasis to developing the more ephemeral right side of the brain. In going beyond the current boundaries of our discipline's thinking we can incorporate the newer concepts of internal marketing, megamarketing, environmental management, competitive strategy, microsegmentation and demand management. Most of us tend to say "But I'm not creative." Possibly this fallacy is the result of the regimentation of our graduate programs. There are only three basic types of creativity (Anderson 1992), each of which is strongly related to the new product development process which we teach and which can be used to stimulate the creativity process:

Bulletin Board - Brown Bear, Brown Bear, What Do You See? This site gives me so many ideas I can use book created by first grade classrooms from various project Contact Information Mrs. Linn McDonald, art teacher http://www.eric-carle.com/bb-bb.html
Extractions: We read Brown Bear to our special needs preschoolers in speech therapy group time. The children sequenced the animals in the order they were seen in the book, and used their own names to ask other children what animal they saw. They also placed the animals on a large picture scene according to where the animals live. For example, they could place the Bear in the tree, under the tree, or in the woods, and the cat in the barn, in the house, or next to the house. The children communicated their ideas through sign language, picture symbols, and verbal language.

E-mail Robert Rozema Reading autobiography TOP A reading autobiography is a short sketch of your own reading history. It should answer most if not all of the following questions: Since this is an autobiographical sketch, it is important that your own voice comes through loud and clear. This may mean using diction that is less formal than usual, and that is perfectly okay. I am most interested in learning about your experiences as growing readers. That said, you should also remember that good writing on any topic follows a logical pattern of organization and is loaded with supporting details. If you need more direction, consider skimming through the Voices of Readers excerpt.

Extractions: We've all known for a long time about soap and shampoo bottles that can be put to use in the classroom holding glue, water, whatever . Having just started wearing contact lenses, we've discovered another: the cleaning solution bottle. Smaller in size than soap bottles, with a flip top cap that won't get lost, these are great for glue, but you may want to use a small drill bit or a red-hot nail to make the hole larger. Anyone who wears contact lenses goes through this solution regularly, so have them save the bottles for you. Popcorn Day Reward your students with popcorn when they finally make it through their multiplication tables, to illustrate how steam and pressure can have explosive results, as an incentive to go one day without getting in trouble in the lunchroom or simply because it's Friday.

Extractions: Course Information Learning Standard 28 of the Massachusetts Curriculum Frameworks for Language Arts states that: "Students will design and create coherent media productions with a clear controlling idea, adequate detail, and appropriate consideration of audience, purpose and medium." Similarly, the Technology Literacy standards say that "students will use technology tools (e.g., multimedia authoring, presentation...) to increase productivity of individual and collaborative projects, and will be able to create appropriate multi-media projects individually or with support from teachers...or student partners." Through brief lectures, demonstration, and lots of hands-on work, students will review and critique multi-media materials prepared by teachers and students. Each participant will use HyperStudio multi-media authoring software to create a teaching tool for a unit, lesson or activity. We will discuss using HyperStudio for student projects, including planning, classroom management, and lab teaching. HyperStudio is a multi-media presentation software package which can incorporate a variety of elements including sounds,graphics, text, animations, digital camera images, QuickTime movie clips, Internet sites, and CD resources. At the present time there are more than 50 multimedia programs on the market, what distinguishes HyperStudio from the rest is its ease of use and its focus on the education market.

Extractions: The Internet is more than just a series of electronic books that can be read on the computer. The Internet is an interactive media that connects people and ideas in a community forum. Students participating in distance learning must learn to: research, determine validity and relevance of resources, communicate effectively with others, collaborate with others to solve problems, and publish the results of their study. Teachers are facilitators in this process. Teachers design or find programs on the Internet that meet their students needs so that they can guide their students. Then evaluation of the outcome of the project can be a cooperative process.
