Workshops | Success Stories

A key element of the P3T3 project was professional development to help all faculty in the School of Education, as well as selected faculty in Science and Liberal Arts, to become effective educational technology users themselves. Faculty professional development consisted of a two-day "start-up" workshop and three days of introductory workshops followed by year-long mentoring that focused on technology integration.

Introductory workshops combined three key elements:

    1. modeling of appropriate uses of technology through participants' immersion in a problem-centered activity involving rich use of technology for gathering information, manipulating data, and communicating results as well as for enhancing one's thinking;
    2. reflecting on practice and the role of technology in both K-12 and higher education classrooms; and
    3. development of basic knowledge and skills
Faculty engage in problem-based learning with technology
during the P3T3 start-up workshops.

To achieve extended support, an academic year-long mentoring program followed the workshops. P3T3 faculty and graduate assistants worked with less experienced faculty members who completed the summer institute to help them pursue personal and course technology integration goals. Mentoring focused on integrating technology, where appropriate, into each faculty members' teacher education courses.

Faculty Success Stories

Faculty members, teaching staff, and graduate teaching assistants have done a variety of things to integrate technology as part of the P3T3 project. Click on these links to see some examples.


Workshops

P3T3 workshop registration was available online at: http://p3t3.education.purdue.edu/p3t3workshop/pickworkshop.asp. Because the project has now ended, these workshops are no longer offered.

ITaP continues to offer workshops for faculty and staff. To learn about or register for these workshops, visit the ITaP Teaching and Learning Technologies training website at: http://www.midc.purdue.edu/ics/training/index.asp. ITaP workshops are open to faculty and staff across the campus. Registration normally opens 2-3 weeks prior to the workshop.
