| MITI ~ "Master It & Take It" Early-bird Workshops
Deadline for MITI registration is November 7, 2007. |
| About the MITI Master It & Take It Initiative . . . |
|
New Hampshire educators are amazingly creative at using the teaching resources available to them and
we have always highlighted these creative teaching and learning strategies in our McAuliffe Stars
sessions. NHSTE leadership also understands that to embrace new teaching and learning resources,
educators need opportunities to explore and master these resources. The MITI – Master It & Take It
– hands-on workshops are designed to provide educators with both the exposure and training necessary to
investigate the potential of a variety of learning devices.
The cost of the 2007 early-bird MITI sessions includes one of the following: a digital camera, an iPod Video and TuneTalk Stereo Device combo, or a digital camcorder. You choose! |

|
An extension of our highly successful MITI handheld computer initiative that began at the 2003
Christa McAuliffe Technology Conference, this year we are offering three, 1-hour MITI – Master It &
Take It – hands-on Early-bird workshops.. These Early-bird workshops are scheduled for Tuesday,
Wednesday, and Thursday mornings from 7:30 to 8:30. Fully charged/loaded devices are distributed in
the workshop room at 7:00 am and the workshop begins promptly at 7:30 am. These 1-hour workshops
introduce you to the basic features of your new device and provide an overview to some curriculum
integration strategies and management applications.
After completing the morning workshop, you will have multiple concurrent sessions to select from over three days, providing an opportunity to learn from knowledgeable educators willing to share their experiences. Feel free to bring your laptop to this morning session, although it is not required. |
| Registering for the MITI workshops . . . |
| Registering for a MITI workshop has been made even easier this year. MITI workshop registration is now included on the General Registration Form in the PSDC Hands-on Workshop section 2. |
| What are my choices and what is the cost? |
|
The 1-hour MITI workshops will be held Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday mornings. Ninety-minute,
in-depth hands-on PSDC follow-up workshops are offered later in the day for the digital camera and
iPod/TuneTalk and devices on Tuesday and Wednesday. (Please note that these require separate
registration on the conference registration form. See PSDC workshops PSDC15P, and PSDC25PC.)
Each MITI early-bird workshop fee includes the specific device described. NHSTE will purchase the best model and brand recommended for instructional use by technology coordinators and highly rated by Consumer Reports. A volume purchase will take place in early November to garner the best value available for the advertised workshop fee.
