Collaborations
Activities
The TLC Project collaborates with many groups to better
integrate technology into the teacher education curriculum.
Professional
Development Schools
P-12 teachers from the Winthrop University Professional
Development Schools attend Summer Technology Camp and work to
infuse technology into teacher education students' final
internships. One
PDS, Lewisville
Elementary School, is the Technology PDS. Here, TLC
Project staff teach a class called Integrating Technology into the
K-5 Classroom. The course is offered for three hours of
recertification credit and the work is a combination of face-to-face
classroom meetings and online independent study. In-service teachers
gain hands-on experience using word processors, spreadsheets,
Internet research, presentation software, graphic organizer
software, digital scanners and cameras in an educational
setting. Also at Lewisville, internship supervisors and mentor
teachers work closely with interns to integrate technology into the
final internship.
Winthrop Olde
English Consortium
Teachers from districts throughout the Winthrop Olde English
participate in TLC activities. Project staff work with
teachers in Fort Mill
School District Four to develop technology infused lessons and
to design a scope and sequence of technology integration in grades
K-8. The lessons and scope and sequence are shared with
pre-service teachers as they begin to develop their own technology
infused lessons.
Corps of Mentor
Teachers
Teachers from The Corps
of Mentor Teachers, funded by the Partners
for the Enhancement of Clinical Experiences project,
a USDE Title II Teacher Quality Partners Grant, also
attend Summer Technology Camp and work to infuse technology
into teacher education students' final internships. TLC
Project staff also assist the Corps in developing Inquiry Project
presentations for the Corps of Mentor course.
Governor's School
TLC Project staff provide Technology and Literacy workshops for
participants in the Governor's School for Excellence in Teaching.
SUNRAY
Winthrop is one of the nine cohort colleges and universities
participating in the SUNRAY
catalyst
grant.
Winthrop teacher
education faculty participating in the TLC Project have attended
SUNRAY professional development events called SUNRAY
Academies and SUNRAY
Institutes.
