One of the things that can drive teachers crazy are the seemingly unending questions from students about how to use the technology. A teacher can reduce the number of questions she has to answer by providing students with help sheets and written instructions (Many students like to call them "cheat sheets." Industrial technology teachers have used them for a long time and call them "job guides.") You can find "Cheat Sheets" for many kinds of technology-based projects at the M.S.A.D. #54 (Skowhegan, Maine) web site. http://www.msad54.k12.me.us/MSAD54Pages/ Technology Services/TechSupportHome.html Another problem teachers face with their students using technology involves students finding useful websites on the Internet. Students find too many resources or can't discern which will be relevant and reliable. Or in the process of searching for information on one topic, they end up finding information of interest to them, but that doesn't help them with their school work. One solution for this problem is for the teacher to spend a little time finding websites that are relevant and reliable and will be useful to her students, then create a simple web page that will be a "link list" to these useful sites. Here is an example of an educator created link list for a unit on the Civil War. http://janus.state.me.us/quinn/Gettysburg/index.html   Back to Top Websites for Teachers | Lesson Plans | Managing Technology Organizations | Math Sites   Educational Technology Organizations ACTEM is the Association of Computer Technology Educators of Maine.
