Information and communication technology courses Teachers are a school's most important resource. Investment in the continual professional development of teachers through in service training contributes to raising the quality of student's learning and achievement. (E.R.O. education evaluation report, 1995).
Onsite provides teacher's professional development on-site in the Auckland area. Courses are tailored to your school requirements and can be conducted during teacher-only days, after school and as in-class support.
The courses we offer include;
- The technology of packaging - We select what product we want to buy from the store, open the package, use the contents and throw away the rest without a single thought. Yet packaging is such a part of our every day life that it is possible to cover every strand, area and context of the technology curriculum within a study of the packaging industry.
- Communicating with e-mail - how it works, obtaining a free e-mail address, how your class can find e-pals all over the world, educational news groups world-wide, and where to look, find and correspond with a group of teachers with the same educational interests as you.
- The Internet -the greatest advance in communications since the
telephone was invented in 1877,- where and how to find the information you want, acceptable- user policies, downloading educational programs, web caching, and school web page authoring.- Hyperstudio - learn how to create stunning slide shows that can enhance every curriculum area by blending clip art, text, drawing, QuickTime movies, sound, photos, CD-ROM and the LOGO programming language - the richest multi-media program for all ages available.
These are just a selection of the courses available.
We look forward to discussing your school's Information Technology Professional Development requirements. monika@onsite.pl.net
