The scheduled events, designed for professional development, are open to everyone in the TAPPED IN community and all guests. This week's featured events for ESL/EFL teachers and learners include the Saturday and Sunday WebHeads and a Sunday EuroLang discussion on using Viv@, a virtual interactive village. The Technology in the Classroom topic on Monday is Weather. On Tuesday K3+ Resources looks at 10 Great Sites for K-3 Students, Bill Hilton Jr. leads the Nuts About Nature discussion and Kevan Nitzberg presents a tutorial on using ArtsConnected, a free image and gallery creation interdisciplinary resource. Wednesday brings a demonstration on Virtual Field Trips created with the Tourmaker software. Participants in the joint LOC Learning Page/Social Studies Forum will have a chance to investigate African American history resources available on the Library of Congress and American Memory site, view TIME Classroom resources for the upcoming HBO documentary, "Unchained Memories: Readings From the Slave Narratives", and also have a chance to chat with Jackie Glover, who produced the documentary. The Pre-Service Teachers Discussion on Thursday will take a look at websites for pre-service teachers. Don't forget the tours and tips sessions if you're new to TAPPED IN or if you want to find out how to get an archived transcript from an event that you missed because of a time zone conflict or a busy holiday schedule. There are tours scheduled to fit most time zones.
