Teacher Training Institute

"The instrument can teach. It can illuminate, yes, it can inspire. But it can do so only to the extent that humans are determined to use it to those ends. Otherwise, it is merely lights and wires in a
box."
- Edward R. Murrow, 1958

"Television can teach...
it is the most important thing television can do"

- Fred Friendly, Professor Emeritus
Columbia School of Journalism,
Columbia University

This is your guide to the implementations and utilization of instructional video, the Internet, and other technologies in the classroom, -- in all areas of the curriculum. As a participant in the Teacher Training Institute (TTI), you are joining a growing network of trained educators throughout the country who are integrating instruction technologies with their teaching.

The TTI staff and Master Teachers have carefully developed resources that will assist you in producing your own video and Internet-based lesson plans. We encourage you to plan your own TTI workshop at your school. We have included exemplary video and Internet-based lesson plans for you to use, and adapt. You may copy and share these with other teachers.

Get ready to be intrigued, challenged, and informed .. and remember, HAVE FUN!
