- Not all oysters
produce pearls and not every classroom
project is a success. How can you create a
pearl of a project that engages learners
through technology rich, motivating,
meaningful, and authentic learning
environments? This web-workshop applies ideas
related to engaged learning including problem
solving, information processing,
collaboration, communication, and "real
world" activities. Rather than focusing on
"what engaged learning is", the workshop will
examine practical projects that apply these
ideas to classroom settings through the use
of technology tools and information resources
including books, Internet, CD-ROM, imaging,
video, and multimedia. For example, a book,
historical site, video, or small animal may
serve as the focus point, Internet resources
provide background information, and
meaningful activities engage students in
reading, exploring information, and
learning.

There are two ways to work
through these materials. You can follow the links in the
paragraph below and find narrative and illustrations. Or,
you can use the hands-on workshop materials which contain
activities.
- Explore each of the four sections. Start by
picking the right pearl
project. Next, explore the connection between
engaged learning and
technology. Learn how to "survive
the dive" through effective classroom management
ideas. Finally, engage students by using focal
points that draw and maintain learner
interest.
