The tenth annual Tech Camp for teachers will take place July 21
– 25, 2008, on the Lake University campus from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. daily.
Tech Camp offers teachers a chance to learn techniques in teaching the
latest software and computer programming. It also provides
opportunities to discuss curriculum, assignments, new teaching
strategies, and level objectives. Tech Camp attendees get to meet with
college professors and authors to discuss collaborative projects,
articulated credit, and college expectations.
There is plenty of time for teachers to talk in small, subject-interest
groups as well. Lake University sponsors one breakfast and one lunch
during the week, lots of snacks, and optional housing and meal cards
for teachers from around the state.
Each day is a balanced mix of lecture, discussion, demonstration, and
lab time. Attendees receive free copies of the latest textbooks
and trial software. Other positive byproducts of the week have
been articulation agreements, part-time teaching opportunities, Web
hosting for high school projects, and great camaraderie!
