Exercises 9.1 and 9.2

9.1
I will train teachers to realize the importance of technology in their content areas and implement it according to their TEKS to engage learners and make learning more meaningful. Teachers will create ways to implement technology in the classroom that are simple and stimulating to the student. Participants will have access to the computer lab while I am training in order for them to emulate what I am doing on the computer.
The participant will identify a time to go to the computer lab by checking the calendar and making time for their class before they leave today.
The participant will devise a plan to use PowerPoint to incorporate flow charts into their content area classes when given the TEKS that are assessed for one part of their current unit.
The participant will assemble instructions and example for students to create a PowerPoint with multimedia incorporated using the TEKS for their grade level to present to the class.
The participant will challenge themselves to invent ways to incorporate technology into their content area beginning with this PowerPoint project.
The participant will discover the need for technology in his class as a means of engaging the learner.
9.2
My alternative methods of teaching would be to use Camtasia Studios which would allow me to record my movements on the screen so the participants can watch my mouse strokes at anytime they wanted via the internet. This would be beneficial because it would be available to them at any time.
Another alternative method would be to recite the instructions into PowerPoint as I use print screen slides from what is actually supposed to happen. This would be beneficial, except that there would be no mouse strokes recorded.
