Welcome to Tamara Kirkpatrick's Technology Integration Leader hopepage!

The information contained herein is my proposal for the types of activities and workshops I would like to provide to Claremont High School during the course of our new Digital High School project.

Workshops I propose to offer:

1. Creating a Web Page (composing and posting on the world wide web).
*Including syllabus of couses and possible daily homework log, that students can easily
access.
2. Gradebook/ Grademachine (or similar grade program)
*How to use, record, weight and keep track of students grades/ reports on the computer.
3. Searching the Web for lesson plans
*how teachers can use the internet for resources and lessons
*how students can use the web to reseach topics/ subjects in lessons
4. Powerpoint Presentation
*given by teacher or student
5. Utilization of specific software/ hardware (by teacher/ subject) depending on specialized area in the Visual and Performing Arts (there is a wide range/ variety of classes offered).
*ex: how to use a digital camera and processing of photo's
6. Wordprocessing- writing, revising/ improving worksheets and exams

Services I can/ will provide during the couse of my TIL project:

1. Coordinate what technology is needed/ per subject in the Arts and find resouces to provide these things and have them installed.
2. Reseach the best/ most efficient technology available to meet the needs of both teachers and students.
3. Guidence and support to my fellow teachers to develope higher levels of computer/ technology skills and how to help implement in the classroom.

Cirriculum Integration Projects I propose to engage teachers and students in relate to focusing in on the specific needs of the teachers and students within the specific Visual and Performing Art specialties. There is a wide range of focus, therefore I must find the specific needs of, for example: the theatre, the chorus, the band or drawing and painting- just to name a few.

Previous experience in technology that relate to teaching:
1. I have owned, opperated and incorperated my personal computer into all my lesson planning grade organization. I compose handouts and worksheets for my students, as well as keeping
track of grades, which I post in my classroom by ID numbers.
2. I have taken a computer class at Cal State Fullerton which directly taught to teachers about how to best use and apply computers in the classroom.
