Effective Use of Internet Resources for Educators

It's funny how professional development works. I've offered quite a few professional development workshops through intermediate school districts that have been cancelled because of low enrollment. However, I just got a phone call from Oakland Intermediate School District in Michigan informing me that the workshop I have scheduled for next week already has 15 participants enrolled. Interestingly, a similar workshop was scheduled for March 5 that only attracted 3 participants and was therefore cancelled. The workshop description states:

Participants will be exposed to an array of websites and will interact with them, including looking at on-line activities. Participants will consider seven essential questions when considering how to best utilize these websites in their instructional practice:
1. What do you like about this site?
2. Why do you like this site?
3. What standard, benchmark, or Grade Level Content Expectations would be achieved by using this resource in your classroom?
4. How would you incorporate this idea into the instruction within your classroom?
5. How could you incorporate this idea without the use of computers?
6. Reflecting on how the idea was incorporated into instruction, what went well?
7. What did not go well? Why?

I'm thrilled to have the chance to teach this workshop again.
