                           a Can of Worms: Integrating
                           Technology into Your
                           Classroom Annette
                           Lamb Using
                           technology with your students can be like
                           opening a can of worms. Before you open
                           the can, you need to create a plan. Start
                           with one worm, keep the project small,
                           reflect on your progress, and add one worm
                           at a time. This
                           workshop will help you develop realistic
                           strategies to create an effective and
                           efficient technology-rich learning
                           enviroment in your classroom. Examine a
                           wide range of technology options (i.e.,
                           productivity tools, multimedia, imaging,
                           Internet) and learn to systematically
                           select, manage, and integrate these
                           resources to fit your grade level and
                           content area standards and needs.
                           Classroom management is the key to
                           effective, engaged learning environments.

                           for "real-world" technology
                           integration. In
                           building the learning environment you need
                           to match the learning outcomes, standards,
                           needs, and time with the tools and
                           activities. Start by
                           exploring your standards: |
