2008+Roseville+Schedule

Why are you here? Technologies: the good and the bad. Printing press, telephone, automobile, television, and now computer. What are your fears? An overview of the new Web technologies, why they are becoming essential to education, and then cover some specific (and free) tools that may change how you think about homeschooling and what you can accomplish. From free website building to video-conferencing with students in other countries, we'll do a broad overview of the amazing changes taking place on the Internet and how they will impact education, homeschooling, and career choices. || A group brainstorming session to look at the current model of education in leadership development, and then ask some questions about how new technologies will impact that model. In particular, Dean will be seeking ideas and concrete ways to improve educational outcomes for our children whether in a home setting and or alternative environments. || Hands-on building of practical tools you can start using right away for your educational endeavors. You'll have the opportunity to create a website, a blog, a wiki, and a learning community. We'll also look at a variety of additional practical tools that you can use for creating opportunities for engaged learning and spiritual and educational development. ||
