Preface
Our world grows smaller and smaller every day. As a result, the
citizens of our world now compete on a global level for jobs. We no
longer need to worry about competing for positions with people from
our own region; we need to worry about competing with people from
all over the globe.
Goals
Teachers attending the workshop will be able to
1. Use technology as a tool to research, organize, evaluate and
communicate information.
2. Use digital technologies (computers, PDAs, media players,
GPS, etc.), communication/networking tools and social
networks appropriately to access, manage, integrate, evaluate
and create information to successfully function in a knowledge
economy.

instruct, motivate and persuade).
