Teachers are constantly looking for ways to better serve their students.  With the rapid advances in technology in our society, they are also having to move forward in their knowledge of how to integrate technology into their curriculum so that it enhances students' learning.  This takes time and a great deal of reflection to ensure that the use of technology is not just for bells and whistles, but instead, technology is an integral tool that takes students further.  This section of my site focuses on some materials I have created to help teachers do just that.  

Enjoy!

The "A" List:  Why English Teachers Must Incorporate Technology Into the Classroom
https://lhillclasses.tripod.com/ncte.htm
In November 2001, I was asked to speak at the national conference of the National Council Teachers of English in Baltimore, Maryland.  This section focuses on the 8 reasons I believe that technology must be incorporated in the English classroom as well as all classrooms.  I used the principals from my article that was published in English Journal.  

Teaching Pre-service English Teachers about Integrating Technology into their curriculum - Hotlist of Useful Websites for Educators
https://lhillclasses.tripod.com/rutgerslinks.htm
The Internet can be a bewildering place.  This site helps new (and seasoned) teachers tame the wild beast by showing the various categories of useful sites and some examples.

Creating a WebQuest
https://lhillclasses.tripod.com/webquests.htm
I was asked to teach a workshop on creating webquests at the Burlington County ETTC.  Feel free to use it as you see fit.

Creating Forms and Surveys -

Interactivity is an integral way to include the Internet in the classroom.  This site gives teachers basic information about what a form or survey is and how it can be created.

FAQ After School Sessions:  Professional Development Program
https://lhillclasses.tripod.com/faqsummary.doc
Along with two other colleagues, I created an after school program that helps teachers to learn the skills necessary to bring technology into the classroom.  We were awarded a Foundation grant at our school for this program and found it successful.  This file is our "pitch" to the foundation.  

These are just a few of the materials I have used in my workshops for educators.  If you would like some other ideas, feel free to email me at lhillclasses@prodigy.net.
