Teacher Technology Workshop
Course outline
Hi. I'm Tim Stuart, your programme leader for the Technology Workshop. This workshop will give you some tools and ideas to use with your students back in school.
At the end of the workshop you should be a bit more techno-with-it as opposed to techno-wary. Don't forget to use the discussions to help you find out more about improving your techno skills.
