Judy:
Thanks for giving me this opportunity to publicize the New Media Classroom
workshop, which is to be held at Assumption College in Worcester, MA, on
June 24-28. This is an intensive 5 days on learning how to integrate the
use of the internet into the teaching of the humanities. This will be the
fourth summer that we have been running this workshop, and we have had
terrific results in the past -- and by results I mean teachers returning to
their classrooms armed with content, tools, and confidence to run excellent
online lessons with their classes. I teach high school, and my co-leader
John McClymer teaches history at Assumption. We will feature an in-depth
exploration of the Library of Congress resources, by the way. We will also
use a broad and diverse collection of exemplary web sites and the latest and
best software to create curriculum and design lessons. This is, I believe,
THE workshop for the teacher who is serious about getting going using the
internet in his/her teaching. Contact me (doctrgus@massed.net) or John
McClymer (jmcclyme@assumption.edu) if you are interested.
