Instructor: Dr. Hunter Ballew, Professor of Education at UNC-Chapel Hill
Description: The course will be built around the state competencies that will be required of teachers and students at all grade levels. The instructor will introduce several pieces of software. These will include data bases, spreadsheets, HyperStudio, MicroWorlds, the Internet, and some CD-ROMs. Data bases are useful to all teachers for record keeping. Spreadsheets can be used to examine statistical data in elementary grades, in social studies, in mathematics, and in science. HyperStudio is a multimedia program useful in elementary school and in all middle school and high school subjects. MicroWorlds is a multimedia program useful in elementary school and in all middle school and high school mathematics classes. The uses of the Internet in instruction are great and growing constantly. CD-ROMs have all sorts of specialized instructional uses.
Assignment: The main assignment for the workshop will be for each participant, or for a group of two or three participants, to design and demonstrate a project using one of the demonstrated pieces of software.
