Additional Technology Projects in EDU506:

Project One -- Electronic Mail:  Hotmail, the world's largest provider of free Web-based email, is the program selected for EDU506's e-mail projects. Hotmail provides email access that is easy and possible from any computer connected to the World Wide Web.

Project Two -- Finding Information on the World Wide Web:  Because the Web is not indexed in any standard manner, finding information can seem difficult. Without a clear search strategy, using a search engine is like wandering aimlessly in the stacks of a library trying to find a particular book. A "Finding It Online" Tutorial is available.

Project Three -- Powerpoint Presentations:  These PowerPoint Presentations have been built by the EDU 506 graduate students to illustrate the capabilities of Microsoft Office 97's PowerPoint software program. A PowerPoint Tutorial by ChalkSoft is available.

Project Four -- SpreadSheet Exercises:  These SpreadSheet Exercises have been designed for the EDU 506 graduate students to illustrate the capabilities of Microsoft Office 97's Excel software program. An Excel Tutorial by ChalkSoft is available.

Project Five -- WebQuests:  WebQuest is an inquiry-oriented activity in which the EDU506 graduate students design short-term, single discipline webpages that can be used immediately in their classrooms. Some samples are available for viewing and comment. Thorough instructions for both Windows-PC and Macintosh operating systems are provided for Netscape Communicator's Composer.
