Staff Development for assisting teachers and administrators in meeting the Virginia Technology Standards for Instructional Personnel

Ten 90 minute lessons will offer instruction in productivity software and techniques for integrating technology with instruction. Participants will be introduced to Microsoft Office applications (Word, Excel, Access, and PowerPoint). A variety of grade levels and content areas will be used to show examples of how the software can be used in the classroom. Supporting materials will permit participants to follow the instructors step-by-step and then try similar exercises on their own. Assignments will require participants to apply what they have learned in each lesson to the content and grade level they teach.
