Introduction

Greetings, workshop participant!  You have entered into an online experience that will not only provide you with a lot of useful information on how to start thinking about the use of appropriate technologies in your  teaching and learning environments, but it will also engage you as a producer of mediated communications technologies and enable you to demonstrate how you might use appropriate technologies as extensions of yourself in the classroom.
 
 

The media you'll need to view some of the materials in this site --

Windows Media Player for Mac OS X Windows Media for Macs

To make your way through this workshop, just click on the links above in the order in which they appear from left to right.  Your next stop is at the appropriate technologies page, which will demonstrate how to get started using multimedia technologies.  Following that, there is a discussion of adult learning that will develop some ideas on how to appropriately apply these technologies to a given teaching and learning environment using Malcolm Knowles's theory of andragogy.  There is also an opportunity for participants to help develop general technology standards using ATS's teaching and learning standards as a guide.
 
PowerPoint Viewer (if you don't have PowerPoint)
When you've finished the presentations and worked through the tutorials within them, click into the preparatory activity to learn how to involve your students in the building of  web-based exegetical projects for your own teaching and learning environment. Afterwards, click into the tutorial on creating online communities to review how the participants engaged in the management of an asynchronous discussion on Moodle's discussion board.  To provide a chronology of events for this workshop, please view Jim Rafferty's post-conference summary.
