The College of Education and Professional Studies at UW-River Falls has selected
a new group of students to serve on its Technology Leadership Cadre for the
2004-05 academic year.
The purpose of the TLC is to provide hands-on learning by integrating technology
into area schools as well as technology support for UW-RF students and instructional
staff. For example, the students participated in a workshop for area teachers
held on campus Oct. 16. Members also attend weekly workshops designed to assist
students in creating multimedia portfolios that will aid in school placement
upon graduation.
The cadre is directed by Deb Allyn, associate professor of health and human
performance; Leland Lueck, teacher education lecturer; and Karen Ryan, director
of the Technology Education Center.
The group is funded by a Preparing Tomorrow's Teachers to Use Technology (PT3)
grant from the U.S. Department of Education.
Cadre members are trained to provide assistance in various areas, including
Internet searching methods, HTML and web site software, online learning software,
spreadsheet, desktop publishing, and imaging software and hardware such as scanners,
CD writers, and digital still and video cameras. The cadre also creates handouts
for available campus software that are distributed and made available on its
web site.
