Students attending Eastern for teacher’s certification may attend a workshop Wednesday that will aid in integrating technology in the classroom.

The workshop will specifically be about using Inspiration to create concept maps, said Julie Lockett, coordinator for technology support on grants.

The workshop will be conducted by the Preparing Tomorrow’s Teachers to Use Technology (PT3) Office of the College of Education and Professional Studies, a press release stated.

The purpose of PT3, a grant project, is to integrate state and national technology standards into the teacher preparation program at Eastern through a collaborative effort of all stakeholders in teacher preparation, the Web site stated.

The workshop will introduce basic skills for the topic. Participation certificates will be issued to preregistered students who attend the workshop, a press release stated.

The workshop is part of a series; others later in November will cover topics such as updating Web pages and scanning documents and photos.

The workshop will begin at 2 p.m. in Buzzard Room 2445. Students who wish to register may call Jennifer Smith at 581-8407. The last day to register is Tuesday.
