Mini-MERIT Summer Program - UH Hilo

d like to make Hawaii students more competitive through technology, provide them alternative and distance education opportunities, increase parent participation and interactivity, and streamline and organize student and teacher workloads. One of our goals is to find who teachers will have an opportunity to become part of the instructional team for year two of the program. Unlike 1-day overview training sessions, this is a comprehensive week-long training, will go far beyond the basics of teaching applications. The program will be focusing on using and integrating applications into existing classroom lessons, curriculum, and projects to stimulate learning. Additionally, the program will focus on parent - teacher communication, calendars & planners (student, teacher, parents), class blogs and other group building activities such as creating reusable lessons, utilizing mobile devices and much more. All lessons are taught through repetitive, real world applications that can be replicated in your classroom. For this special event, the University of Hawaii are providing world class global Google Certified Education trainers from the Krause Center for Innovation (KCI), Los Altos California. This highly specialized team has trained top ranked schools internationally, across the nation, and Hawaii Preparatory Academy in Hawaii.
