Using Technology to Teach Reading and Writing Across the Curriculum
Elementary Institute
Secondary Institute
Overview
The primary goal of the Reading and Writing Institute is to enable teachers to design lessons using the Planning Tool for Technology Integration that integrate the use of technology into daily instruction and support content, reading, writing, and technology learning goals and indicators. All work is based upon the Maryland Teacher Technology Standards and the BCPS Learning Goals and Indicators, PreK-12. Teachers will use content and technology indicators that are already a part of the BCPS curriculum.
All teachers who successfully complete the Reading and Writing Institute, by satisfactorily completing all assignments, attending all sessions, and completing the final project, will receive 2 MSDE/CPD credits.
The Reading and Writing Institute involves a total of 30 hours of instruction. There is no partial registration available. Participants must agree to these requirements:
- Attendance at four, 3 hour face-to-face classes during the fall or spring semester.
- Completion of five, 3 hour online classes.
- Attendance at one, 3 hour follow-up session.
- Teachers who attend all eight face-to-face sessions of the Reading and Writing Institute and satisfactorily complete all assignments and the final project will receive two MSDE inservice credits. No partial credit is available.
To see a current schedule and register, visit the Inservice Course Registration through the Professional Development Center.
Currently we offer two levels of institutes. See below for more detailed information on each level.

Using Technology to Teach Reading and Writing Across the Curriculum
(Elementary Reading and Writing Institute) |
Detailed Course Information:
Audience:
Classroom teachers in Grades 1-5 are invited to apply for the institute.
Prerequisites:
Please note that participants are expected to possess Fundamental Computer Skills as a prerequisite to registration.
Registration Information:
To see a current schedule and register, visit the Inservice Course Registration through the Professional Development Center. All applicants will receive a confirmation email five days prior to the start of the institute that will contain additional information necessary for the first session (directions, materials to bring, etc.).
Course Objectives:
Participants will:
- examine different model lessons and review articles in order to define effective technology integration
- create a product using Inspiration software in order to demonstrate effective technology integration into the mathematics or science curriculum
- revise the Inspiration product in order to provide students opportunity to work at higher levels of cognitive demand
- learn advanced features of MS Word in order to create a document which incorporates an instructional strategy and supports content, writing, and technology indicators
- create a student sample Photo Story which applies a reading or writing instructional strategy and supports content, reading or writing, and technology indicators
- create a portion of a Planning Tool (standards and instruction) using one of the products created in the course (Inspiration, Word, or Photo Story) incorporating what has been learned about instructional strategies and management
- modify a planning tool to incorporate strategies for differentiating a technology integrated lesson. Participants will review the BCPS Acceptable Use Policy (A.U.P.) in order to answer questions regarding effective implementation of the A.U.P. in their classroom
- create a draft of a planning tool in order to demonstrate the effective integration of technology into instruction
- revise a draft of a planning tool in order to demonstrate the effective integration of technology into instruction
- present their final project planning tools in order to demonstrate the effective use of technology to support reading or writing, content, and technology standards. Planning tools should demonstrate effective integration of technology into instruction.
