TechSI2010

=Tech Summer Institute 2010 (TechSI 2010)= This is the launching page for //Technology, Writers and Writing: A Technology Summer Institute Sponsored by the Connecticut Writing Project in Collaboration with EASTCONN//. TechSI 2010 is the 3rd annual summer institute. It is a week-long institute which focuses on exploring a variety of technology tools that support writing, teaching and learning. Each day will focus on a different topic: Each day is designed as a combination of demonstration, “hands on” time, and discussions of the implications of using these powerful technology tools with students. Educators are invited to come and immerse themselves for a day or a week and discover how these tools can change teaching and learning for them and their students forever. Participants can sign up for the entire week of this institute or for individual days that are of interest.
