Do you want to learn a new way to teach history and technical literacy skills? Then this is the workshop for you! This workshop introduces participants to a new way of teaching history—through films, online resources, and multimedia projects. It is a great workshop for teachers looking to add some jazz to their history curriculum.
Jackie Keane and Michelle Bonadies use a hands-on workshop to introduce two new courses about teaching history to students. Jackie helps you develop your information-, visual-, and technical-literacy skills, including how to work with the iLife suite and make thought-provoking presentations. You then take these skills to Michelle’s course on History vs. Hollywood. There you will use your information-literacy skills to do in-depth historical research about the time periods in which the films you watch occur. You will present your findings to the class using a multimedia project, describing what aspects of the film were historical and what aspects were created by Hollywood.
Who should attend:
- Social studies teachers
- Curriculum directors
- Technology directors
- Technology prep coordinators
- Head teachers
- Media specialists

Is your school district spending millions of dollars on technology but still disappointed with students’ achievement? Are your teachers not using technology to its fullest potential? Are you looking for a new and innovative way to write technology benchmarks that work to enrich the core concepts of the curriculum?
In a two-hour workshop, Jackie Keane introduces a new active-learning model that infuses technology into the curriculum. The model includes new ways of teaching students information-, visual-, and technical-literacy skills—not by taking time out of the curriculum, but instead by using these skills to enrich the curriculum. In the workshop, Jackie provides an overview of many of the ideas presented in her new book, Internet-Based Student Research: Creating to Learn with a Step-by-Step Approach, Grades 5–12. Her book and workshop are filled with easy ideas that you can use in your classroom immediately, including ready-to-go worksheets and easy-to-follow directions. With her easygoing personality and sense of humor, Jackie puts you at ease as she introduces you to valuable new ideas and concepts.
Who should attend:
- K–12 teachers
- Curriculum directors
- Technology directors
- Technology prep coordinators
- Head teachers
- Media specialists
- Board of Education members
