>FOOTHILL COLLEGE (KCI/LINC) FALL COURSES IN TECHNOLOGY/SOFTWARE APPS.,
>GLOBAL & COLLABORATIVE PROJECT-BASED LEARNING (PBL), WEBQUESTS & USING
>WEB-BASED MUSEUM LEARNING RESOURCES
>==========================================================================
>Foothill College, through the Krause Center for Innovation (KCI), offers
>some of the most affordable courses in the Bay Area for teachers in the
>area of technology training and integrating technology into the
>curriculum. I am a member of the Foothill KCI adjunct faculty, and I
>am teaching four of these LINC classes this Fall (see bottom of this
>message), including two that are directly related to our Bay Area Science
>Education Collaboratory
><http://www.designnworlds.com/Hewlett/BA_ScienceCollab/index.html> and
>others which may be of interest to you or teachers with whom you work.
>
>Learning In New Media Classrooms (LINC) classes meet the technology
>training needs of K-14 educators. They are typically short classes which
>are conveniently scheduled to provide the opportunity to learn to use new
>software applications, project-based learning (PBL) and other related
>instructional strategies that are most effective in integrating technology
>into the K-14 curriculum. These classes address skills required by
>California Technology Proficiencies required for initial and continued
>California teacher credentialing: For example, LINC's CIS 50A course is
>equivalent to SJSU's EDIT 122 class and meets the prerequisite
>requirements for a teaching credential. One unit of academic credit
>(quarter system) is awarded for each 12 hours of onsite/online instruction.
>
>These classes include classes that meet on the Foothill campus at KCI's
>state-of-the-art computer classrooms and multimedia lab, hybrid courses
>(both some onsite class sessions + online learning), as well as totally
>online, web-based classes. KCI also offers some classes through Resource
>Area For Teachers (<http://www.raft.net>), and San Mateo County Office of
>Education. KCI staff and faculty can also design customized classes for
>schools or districts. For more information on these options, please email
>Linda Ullah, KCI's Teacher-in-Residence, at <ullahlinda@foothill.edu>,
>phone (650: 949-7498).
>
>For registration information and a complete list of classes available this
>Fall, beginning Sept.. 22, see: <http://www.foothill.edu/kci/linc>. A
>single quarterly registration fee is $16, and the per unit fee for
>California residents is $12/unit. Day use parking is $2 or $26 for a
>permit for the full Fall quarter. Educators from outside of California
>and the U.S. may also enroll in online classes at slightly higher fees.
>
>Following are the descriptions for the four classes I am teaching this
>Fall; others may be found at . <http://www.foothill.edu/kci/linc>. Please
>feel free to forward this to other colleagues or email me for more
>information at <ted@designworlds.com>.

>Using Web-Based Bay Area Museums to Teach LINC 228.01
>
>The Bay Area has a wealth of science-technology museums and youth
>museums which have over $1 billion of assets for teaching and informal
>learning of science, math, engineering/design and technology. Based on a
>pilot project called the Bay Area Science Museum Learning Collaboratory
>(http://www.designnworlds.com/Hewlett/BA_ScienceCollab/index.html),
>funded initially by the Hewlett Foundation, this project will explore
>how these resources can be aligned with California science curriculum
>standards and provide a powerful complementary resource
>to textbooks for improving teaching and learning of science.
>Examples will be drawn from the Collaboratory's current 6th grade
>content, and students will create and use a special Science Museum
>Webquest as a project in their classrooms.
>Prerequisite/Concurrent enrollment: Introduction to Webquests
>Class Dates: Mon. 9/22; Wed. 9/24; Mon. 9/29; Wed.10/1
