Learning with Technology is a website maintained by Maggie Wilson, District TRT for Instructional Websites. Learning with Technology offers a variety of excellent educational websites, arranged by curriculum area, as well as a wealth of information and ideas about how to integrate the use of technology into the classroom.

Paula Whitmer

/trt12/

Links, materials, presentations - available on STLP Coordinator Paula Whitmer's site! " . . . Technology can be overwhelming at times. It changes every day. Learning how to integrate it into your classroom instruction though shouldn't be overwhelming. I've designed my website so that, hopefully, it won't overwhelm my visitors as well. I provide links to resources that I feel will be useful to any classroom teacher. Some of these resources were created by myself, other technology resource teachers or just really great ones I've found on the web. Check it out!"

Mike Johnson, Adam Brewer

/trt20/

From Mike and Adam: " . . . LearningSpace offers easy access to websites and resources specifically chosen to meet the high standards set for students by the Fayette County Public Schools and the Kentucky Department of Education. Your gateway to those websites is a search form linked to a database of resources. The websites included in this database were selected or created by instructional technology specialists to meet requests made by classroom teachers."
Their current project, with TRT Nathan Cornett, is a collection of instructional ideas and resources associated with the Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City. Click on the link to the left to look!

Richard Forston

/trt22/

From Dick: ". . . You are invited to browse here for a place to start when seeking information about a variety of topics, from local resources to Internet resources. You'll also find such things as links to sites for many of the educational television networks, (i.e.. History Channel, Discovery, etc.) There are a few projects or collections of resources there which you should feel free to make yours as necessary. Contact me for other resources not included on these pages - especially for the middle school crowd."

The Joy of Teaching

/trt18/

From Joy: " . . . My website is customized for the teachers that work with me. For example "Teacher Requests" is compiled from the lists of subjects/objectives that teachers ask me to help them research to find information or activities for them or their classroom. One complete page is devoted to all the Literacy (First) Workshops and activities I have compiled (and still growing) since I work with three "Literacy First" Schools."

Barbara Barr

"Learning in the 21st Century" is a site developed by Barbara Barr. Education in the 21st Century will be very different from learning in centuries past. Today we teach a generation of students who have grown up on computers and Play Stations. These students will porobably not be engaged by a chalk board. Teachers are very busy people, and Barbara Barr's web site provides collections of resources to help hard working educators find sites and information to increase test scores and enhance learning in the classroom.
