CTE Indy Workshops on Visual and Digital Literacy

Today’s students are living in a digital world. In this series of workshops, teachers will learn about the role that visual and digital literacies have in teaching and learning. Teachers will gain hands-on experience with:
• Digital video for reflection, storytelling, and analysis
• Web 2.0 tools like podcasts, blogs, Facebook and wikis
• Emerging technologies like iPhones and SmartBoards
• Visual learning tools like Inspiration

The workshops will be 9 AM to 1 PM on the following four Saturdays in Spring 2010: Jan. 16, Feb. 6, Mar. 20, May 1.

Graduate Credit or CRUs Available. CRUs are available for the workshops themselves. With the graduate credit option, teachers will apply these new competencies to the design and planning of a curricular unit or project that incorporates digital media and visual learning. Teachers in the graduate option will also develop a performance assessment that examines student learning via digital media. For graduate credit, sign up for EDTEC 665 at: www.bsu.edu/distance

More information and online registration is forthcoming. For more information, contact Dr. Matthew Stuve at the CTE.
