OHS: Peer Tech Resources

This page is continually under construction.
We are creating a list of resources and compiling tutorials for OHS faculty/staff.
We hope to have a page and resources in place by Fall 2008.
If you have a resource to share regarding technology-integrated teaching or use of technology in the classroom.
Please contact Wayne Beeson, Kate Chan, Todd McDougall, Kristen Soderberg, or Jody Underwood.

The PLC

We've started a Professional Learning Community (PLC) to help support each other as we explore technology-integrated teaching. While the Professional Learning Community has a limited number of available participation openings, we thought some of you may wish to explore the same ideas and tools on your own. We're developing a community resource as we move along in our PLC. You can find our work and explore the same tools we are exploring by going to this blog/link:

Teachology 2.0

(Teaching + Technology = Teachology)

If you are interested in connecting with us about these tools or ideas, please do! You can email or touch base with Wayne Beeson, Jody Underwood or Kate Chan if you are interested in knowing more.

PLC Dates: 9/18, 10/16, 11/20, None in Dec., 1/15, 2/19, None in Mar., 4/16, 5/21, None in June

Links & Resources

This tutorial shows you how to connect your document camera and computer to your data projector. This is MUCH easier than putting your cart together!

This link is exactly what it says: A document written by Kennewick teachers showing how to get more out of your document camera.

101 Ways to Use Your Document Camera

Do you have a white-colored Elmo document camera? If you do, check you model number (most are TT- 02s). You can download the software for your MacBook here that will allow you to take/edit images with the laptop from the document camera.

NEW COMPUTER IMAGE PROBLEMS

Appleworks is no longer a part of our computer system. If you have Appleworks files, they can be opened with the iWork software that is now a part of the system. If it does not happen automatically, here is how to convert your files:

Select the "file" drop down menu on the top of the screen
Select "get info"
Click on the arrow of "open with"
Choose Pages

Below the menu where you selected Pages click the button that says "change all". This will tell the computer that all of your Appleworks documents should be opened with Pages so you don't have to go through this every time.

Also, some of your formatting will be lost in translation. Titles will need to be underlined again. Tabs may need to be reset. It's not perfect, but it beats starting over.
