Education Advocate Workshops
The Education Advocates (also called Education Directors) provide a variety of workshops to teachers, librarians, technology coordinators, and administrators. These free workshops are designed to increase your ability to use technology efficiently and are customized for your specific needs.

In addition, Education Advocates can organize seminars and bring in experts on topics of interest to you. Workshops, research, consulting, and more are provided to education customers all over the US; but especially in the 22 AT&T state footprint.

Below is a partial listing. Advocates are "quick studies" and can put together something to meet your needs on relatively short notice. If you have questions or comments, please use our KNE Feedback Form.

Educational Resources on the Web

Spinning Web-Based Activities with Filamentality
Sold on integrating great websites into your curriculum, but uncertain how to do it? One way is to create a web based activity such as a hotlist, treasure hunt or webquest using the online tool, Filamentality. Filamentality guides you through creating pages that encourage active learning that are then housed on the AT&T Knowledge Network Explorer website for free.

Information Literacy
We have all grown increasingly dependent on information gathered from the Internet. Find out how teachers, librarians and students can accurately assess the reliability, validity and authority of the massive amounts of information retrieved from the web and produce quality research. Take a look at the 21st Century Literacy resources developed through our partnership with UCLA.

Especially Español
This popular workshop highlights Spanish language sites. Teachers explore bilingual websites appropriate for English-language learners and for students learning Spanish. This workshop focuses on classroom activities using a hotlist of great sites.

Ethics, Safety, and Cyberbullying in a Virtual World
Technology makes for exciting times in education but what happens when the dark side of technology sneaks into the classroom in the form of an inappropriate website, online term paper mills, or threatening behaviour? This workshop explores issues involving Internet safety, online ethics such as copyright and plagiarism, perils of newsgroups, web hoaxes, cyberbullying, and more.

Videoconference Fundamentals
This session allows participants to experience videoconferencing! We answer your questions regarding use of this technology and discuss the types of systems available. Learn how videoconferencing can be used to invite the whole world to your school or library. This workshop can be conducted onsite if equipment is available or at one of AT&T Executive Briefing Centers.

Basics of Video, Audio and Web Based Conferencing
What's the buzz surrounding video, audio and web based conferencing? During this workshop explore different types of conferencing from web-based conferencing to video conferencing. Find out how using these technologies can help you virtually host powerful interactive meetings, staff development or virtual field trips with anyone in the world.

Web 2.0 Tools
Digg, Second Life, Technorati, Facebook, Blogger, MySpace, and more. Sometimes it feels like "flavor of the month." Let's examine the shelf-life of these technologies and how they're being used.

What's Hot? What's Not?
We can pull together a seminar on almost any topic and get the right people into the room. Whether you are interested in video surveillance, network security, total cost of ownership, converged mobility, or pretty much anything else you've ever heard or dreamed about; just let us know and we can organize your next technology training session.
