Week 2 Group 6 Current Event

Current Event Topic: Identify an online source for expanding your technology literacy.

Group 6 Members: Warren Shaw, Kaylee Taylor, Maile Yap, & Jasmine Yoshikawa

Online Source: "Professional Development On-line Tutorials" by East Central Educational Service Center (E.C.E.S.C.)

      In this day in age, students are very "tech-savvy". Pretty much most of their time is spent on some sort of technological device. If that is what grasps their attention, shouldn't educators use that resource to their advantage? It is a great idea; however, there are some teachers out there that aren't as "tech-savvy" as their younger generation students. "Professional Development On-line Tutorials" provided by the East Central Educational Service Center provides teachers with links to tutorials of different online resources that they can use to conduct their teaching. It has tutorials like how to use a Mac and Microsoft Excel. As well as sites on how to teach an online class well. It even has a tutorial on how to use a Kindle since e-books are so popular now. It is basically a resource to make sure that you, the teacher, know how to use technology and can confidently use it to help your students learn.
