The May >> 30th deadline for registration is quickly approaching. >> >> Subject-specific technology training that is broken up into 1.5 and >> 3 day workshops will be held at Covenant Christian High School in >> Indianapolis from June 15-19. Facilitated by Teachers Teaching with >> Technology? (T3?) instructors, the physics section workshop will >> focus on the integration of TI-Nspire technology for data collecti >> on and concept development in the physics classroom. >> >> Participants will: >> Become comfortable using the TI-Nspire CAS? handheld and TI-Nspire >> CAS Teacher Edition Software? with various Vernier probes. >> Take away classroom-ready materials suitable for Physics. >> Explore assessment opportunities provided by the new tools from >> Texas Instruments. >> Encourage the building of a community of like-minded educators. >> >> The summer workshop will focus on equipping teachers to effectively >> use technology in five specific subjects: Alg 1, Alg 2, Geometry, >> Pre-Calc/Calc, and Physics. The algebra 1 class will be especially >> of interest to middle school teachers. The Algebra 1 & Geometry >> sections focus on tough-to-teach and tough-to-learn topics and use >> the technology as an exciting and innovative tool to improve >> understanding. The Physics section will emphasize data collection >> and the ease at which this can be done and analyzed with the TI- >> Nspire CAS. >> >> See the TI-Nspire 09 Summer Workshop flyer for more info. This is >> the only site in Indiana to offer this professional development >> (see http://www.tinspire2009.com/ ). >> >> The website for the workshop is http://covenantchristian.org/bird/SmartTIap.htm >> >> Learning strategies will include, but not be limited to: >> Using multiple representations, >> Working with Inquiry-based learning, >> Implementing action/consequence documents. >> >> The technology is included with the professional development for >> the participants of the 1.5 day course. >> Through the course of this 1.5 day event these and other Physics >> concepts will be examined: >> Motion Mass vs. Weight >> Acceleration Coulomb?s Law >> Magnetism Electricity >> >> During the 3-day course, participants will see how the technology >> can be used to explore: >> Motion Light >> Temperature >> Conservation of Energy Gravity Velocity >> Potential and Kinetic Energy Coulomb?s Law Acceleration >> Ohm?s Law Friction >> >> Additional free resources, like http://www.tiphysics.com/ >> activities/ , will also be explored. >> >> THANKS! >> >> Sean Bird >> Covenant Christian High School >> 7525 West 21st Street >> Indianapolis, IN 46214 >> Phone: 317/390.0202 x104 Fax: 317/390.6823 >> Website: http://covenantchristian.org/bird >> work Email: seanbird@covenantchristian.org >> personal Email: covenantbird@gmail.com >> Psalm 111:2 "Great are the works of the LORD, studied by all who >> delight in them." -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
