Technology Projects
Preparing future teachers to use technology with their students is an important part of teacher education at Ohio Wesleyan. Dr. Amy McClure had this goal in mind when she required her Children’s Literature students to create Power Point presentations on significant picture book authors and illustrators. In pairs, students researched the work of an illustrator, including how critics view that person’s work. They then created Power Point presentations that summarized the information they discovered. Each group also created a handout, using Microsoft Publisher software. <<Read More>>
