Integrating Technology into Lessons for Your Grade-level & Content Area - Part 1
Teachers will learn to use both familiar and new technology tools to create curriculum guidelines and lesson materials for their grade level and content area. For those that teach multiple disciplines or grade levels they will have the opportunity to work with just one grade and content area or multiple. The whole session will be done in collaborative groups broken into the following grade levels: K-5 (primary), 6-8 (middle), and 9-12 (secondary). This is a two part session and is probably the most intensive part of the workshop.
 * Overview**:

Teachers will:
 * Objectives**:
 * 1) become familiar with technology-based curriculum for their grade levels
 * 2) be able to use the technology-based curriculum to develop technology integrated lesson plans for their grade levels and content areas


 * Training Activities**:
 * 1) Teachers will be assigned to groups(5-7 per group) based on the grade level they teach. Once groups have assembled there will be a 20 minute introduction to the appropriate grade level curriculum with a brief Q&A period.
 * 2) Each content area will have a station and the teachers will go to that station to get tools and materials to help them begin lesson planning for their grade level. They should be prepared to present at least one lesson from the group at the end of part 2 of this session.

 * Additional Materials**:

By the end of part 1 teacher groups should have a good start on at least one lesson that integrates technology, although 2-3 would be more likely.
