DESCRIPTION OF COURSES FOR TEACHERS
The courses listed below have been offered to teachers since 2000 under an IIT program called SMART (Science and Mathematics with Application of Relevant Technology).
SMART: Webpage Development for Teachers
| MSED 580: | Summer 2000 - Spring 2002 | |
| PHYS 580: | Summer 2004 - |
An in-service workshop for pre-college teachers
that emphasizes web-based instruction in mathematics, science, and computing in
the classroom. Prerequisite: certification as a K-12 teacher.
Participants in the program will design and produce a web page that contains an
interactive lesson in an appropriately chosen subject. Web based lessons developed by our participants
are
easily accessible by their students, including those with special needs, and offer learning
opportunities for those students and others, the world over.
The web pages are
prepared in HyperText Markup Language [HTML], and permanently
displayed on the SMART website:

By their nature, these courses may be taken repeatedly by teachers without repeating the
specific content from one semester to the next, even though the course numbers and titles may
remain unchanged. This is the nature of most graduate seminar courses at most universities.

at the moment, please leave a message, and I will return your call.
