On
Going Professional Teacher Development
Teacher Training, professional development, is one of the core
parts of Camp Internet.
We are all learning to work with new technologies. Each growth
in technology changes the way we do certain things. The Internet
has greatly expanded the resources of the average classroom
and opened up a world community to both students and teachers.
Camp Internet Teacher Training builds a skill set that allows
you to use technology in your classroom in an effective, rewarding
way.
Using the Internet as a regular part of our daily classroom
activity requires that we have a good source of "content" on
the Internet to draw on.
Camp Internet provides a range of "content", from reading to
math and science on over to arts and history, that can add to
almost any curriculum. Making use of the special search engine
and taking time to explore the Camp Internet Expeditions and
special projects such as the digital video, GIS and Garden projects,
will allow you to have an idea of what is there to use.
Along with special live training sessions where experienced
Camp Internet educators meet with you in both a lab and field
trip setting, Camp Internet provides a year long, online Professional
Teacher Development program that journeys with you through the
Expeditions and special studies which take place within the
Camp Internet Campus.
