Are you looking for a website to use with a particular lesson or topic?  Don't have time to look for it yourself.
Would you like your students to E-Mail an expert?
Are you looking for a WebQuest?

Are you looking for a piece of software to teach that skill or concept?  You don't have time to do the research.  You don't understand all the technical ins and outs of your computer and what software will run on it and what won't.  Not sure where the best place to buy it is?  Is someone else in the system already using it?  Can you get something equivalent for free?

Did you know that many colleges and universities have created a variety of free applets to help you teach various concepts and skills?

Did you know there are thousands of freeware titles out there that can be used as is or modified to meet some of your classroom objectives?
 

Are you having trouble getting that concept across to your students?  What technology resources are available?  Are there websites? Are there applets? Is other software available? What about Video clips? How can we use technology to make it hands on? We can chat behind the scenes, take a look at your current plan, and brainstorm the possibilities.

Students can always come to the tech office when they get stumped.  How do I do columns in this reports ?  How do I animate this powerpoint slide ?

Your class is using a piece of software for the first time.  Would you like someone there to help answer students technical questions ?

Whether it be a website, a multimedia presentation, a VHS video, a DVD, a videoconference experience, a software package - there are resources available that can help keep your students engaged and help you get the point across.

Do you know the advantages and disadvantages of using Microsoft Word vs. ApppleWorks? 

Did you know there is a graphing calculator hidden on the iBooks?  What is the best software for creating web pages? How can Inspiration be used?  How can we edit pictures, graphics, sound clips, and videos?  What does DataStudio do?

You want your students to complete a task using software already on their iBooks or in the lab - but they have not used it before. I can provide direct instruction to your entire class whether it be a 10 minute introduction or several days of detailed instruction.

Do they need a refresher in making a powerpoint presentation?  Do they need to know how to make a graph in Excel?  Do they know how to send their homework to electronically?

You have your class working on group projects.  Some groups have decided to use technology in their presentation.  Do you want someone else in the classroom to help the groups solve their technical hurdles while you assist them with their content and organization?

Do you want to post assignments, course outlines, class expectations, class resources, sample assignments and student's completed assignments & projects on a web page?  Whether you want to do it yourself or have students help - I can show you how to create an effective site using Microsoft Word, Netscape Composer,  Dreamweaver or eZ_Web.  Learn how to collect, take pictures and video clips, scan images, and manipulate drawing and photos for use on your site.

Maybe you just want a quick way to post assignments, or you want to set up a classroom discussion board, podcast, or classroom blog.

Do you want to create your own WebQuest?

Would your like to bring an expert into your classroom to interact with your students?  Have your students visit a Science Museum; an Art Museum; a History Museum; a Research facility; a National Park,  Zoo, or Botanical Garden? Hundreds of options are available to you and your students.

Using video conferencing can eliminate travel costs as well as travel time thus making "field trips" more convenient and more likely to occur.

You can collect data electronically over the internet.  Conduct Class officer elections and mock elections.  Do students need to survey staff or other students to collect data for a project?  Do you need to survey parents or community members for staff development or NEASC?

Do three or four of your peers want to join you in a technology workshop after school or during planning time?  Need help with the finer details of your gradebook software?  Want to learn how to use the iLife applications?  Need more practice with the Microsoft Office applications?  Request a personalized technology workshop.
