Kathleen Lind
Technology Consultant, Madison
This session will give participants a strong overview of the strategies for using the Internet and related technologies into the classroom. We’ll look at ways the Wisconsin Information and Technology Standards can be met within core content areas considering varying degrees of technology access. Lastly, we’ll investigate ways to assess the technology based projects students complete in the classroom. Sample student projects will be shared and analyzed throughout the afternoon. Familiarity with two or more of the following will be assumed: Netscape Navigator, Inspiration, Hyperstudio, and Microsoft Office. Kathleen Lind is a former middle and high school teacher. Her focus in the classroom was on connecting course work with student experiences in their local and global community. After completing her MS in Educational Administration at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she worked for CESA 2 as a Curriculum & Technology services consultant, providing staff development and technical support for teachers looking to integrate technology into an experiential classroom. Currently she is a freelance consultant working with classroom teachers interested in refining their technology and curricular design skills.
