Abstract

Teacher training enhanced with Web pages can give teachers continual just-in-time support. While most teachers are experienced Web consumers, some lack experience using the Web. The opportunity to grow in Web experience adds value to training workshops. Workshop Web pages fill a continuum from full Web-based distance learning delivery to companion materials for a traditional class. The Web pages serve a multitude of purposes before, during and after the workshop. Before the workshop group meets formally, participants can read the Web page to become oriented to the topic of the workshop. During the workshop, the Web pages become a multimedia, interactive agenda where participants can return after the workshop concludes. After the conclusion of the workshop, participants have access to all materials and their additions and updates. For added functionality, and for teachers in schools still lacking Internet connectivity, the contents of the Web pages can be distributed on CD-ROM.
