Faculty have many opportunities to participate in professional development activities related to technology. In addition to regular on-campus events, the PT3 grant has provided a special professional development program for the Colleges of Education and Arts & Sciences.

Each year, cohort groups of faculty (approximately 30-35) were selected to participate in a series of workshops related to a variety of technology topics.

Workshops explore both basic skills, as well as ideas for integrating the resources into the university and K12 classroom.

Faculty surveys are used to make certain that the workshops focus on meeting the needs of faculty.

Workshop Topics

• Imaging Devices such as Scanners and Digital Cameras and Graphics Design
• Web Browsers and their Common Functions and Search Techniques
  • Searching the Web
  • Types of Search Tools (Search Engines, Subject Directories, Invisible Web, MetaSearch Engines and Subject Guides)
• Multimedia Desktop Presentations using Microsoft PowerPoint
• Distance Learning with Web-CT
• Technology Integration into the Curriculum
• Electronic Portfolio Development
• Web Design and Development using Dreamweaver
  • Focus on faculty pages - vita, course syllabi, links
  • Focus on class activities (i.e., case studies, web links, review pages, sample quizzes)
  • Focus on audio and visual elements
