IntegrateOnline

TeacherUniverse's IntegrateOnline series of courses offers the highest-quality training and services to your teachers and administrators. Through AssessOnline, TeacherUniverse is able to create a custom learning path for each individual teacher. Based on an initial assessment, the custom learning path recommends specific topics targeted to an individual teacher's needs. The courses then provide teachers with the practical knowledge and strategies for creating engaging and effective lesson plans that incorporate technology into the curriculum. Each course builds on the other, expanding the breadth and depth of a teacher's understanding and knowledge of technology. Each course includes AssessOnline, and access to the Online Portfolio and Online LessonPlanner.

IntegrateOnline Includes:
  • Assessment -- teachers complete pre- and post- assessments that generate customized learning paths and detailed online reports.
  • Real Interactions -- teachers learn by practicing actual hands-on skills, not by simply viewing movement on the screen.
  • Self-Paced Learning -- teachers learn at their own pace and can return to where they leave off.
  • Multiple Media -- audio and text, rich interactions, visual demonstrations, hands-on projects, lesson-plan creation, glossaries, and listserv communication enhance the learning process.
