TLC101: Professional
Development for Faculty
Description
Teacher education faculty self-select a technology
project related to the courses they teach and are assigned a student
tutor to assist them with their project. Student tutors teach
teacher education faculty technology skills necessary for the
completion of their project. Training sessions are
one-on-one and are scheduled at the convenience of the faculty
member and the tutor.
Projects
Projects can have one of two foci:
- faculty modeling teaching
with technology (ex.using WebCT to augment class instruction, using FrontPage
to create class websites)
- designing a student project requiring
technology use (ex. evaluating educational
software, creating digital portfolios, using digital cameras and camcorders to teach specific physical
education skills).
More Project Examples
Student
Tutors
Student tutors
work with three to four
faculty members who have similar
technology interests for two hours
a week per professor. Student
tutors are
responsible for scheduling meetings with their assigned
faculty and maintaining
a timesheet and journal.
Tutors meet with the project directors at least once a
month.
Students who have completed the required introductory
technology course
are eligible to be TLC Tutors.
Students must also receive a faculty
recommendation and
complete an interview.
