Improvements to the Course:
Kathryn is going to learn Web page building skills and then teach them to her students. She wants her students to develop a lesson or unit that includes an on-line component with objectives, tasks, assessment and links to primary sources. While her students already develop lessons with these components, she wants them to take it a step further by posting these lessons on-line. She also wants to explore possibilities in threaded on-line discussions for the purpose of asynchronous class discussion outside of class time. Additionally, Kathryn wants to improve her PowerPoint skills. While she is already proficient in using PowerPoint as a presentation tool, she wants to learn other uses for PowerPoint.
