ITEC 894 Showcase on May 13, 2011

2011-04-26T17:02:00.000-07:00

ITEC 894 Showcase - May 13, 2011 - 6:30 - 9:00 PM - BH 168/170 (SF State Main Campus)

The most recent group of ITEC graduates is showing off their creative work projects on campus on Friday the 13th of May. And you're invited! In the past, we've restricted this to the students themselves, but this year we are opening up the event to all interested people, especially ITEC grads and current students.

December 2010 and May 2011 graduates will be showing their creative works in the BH 170 lab. We'll split the group into two sessions so everyone will have a chance to explain their work to interested "browsers" for about an hour. Attendees will be free to wander among project stations to spend time with students and projects that most interest them.

We will be serving the typical ITEC Open House beverages and light snacks, so we're asking you to let us know if you plan to come so we can plan accordingly. Please RSVP to Anna Kozubek in the ITEC office by May 10.

ITEC Welcomes Dr. Patricia Donohue!

2011-04-26T16:59:00.000-07:00

Dr. Donohue is a graduate of the ITEC program herself and has been teaching part time in our program for several years. Those of you who have experienced her teaching, advising and collegial conversations can understand that she brings a wealth of expertise and experience in relevant fields.

Job Post: Elementary Technology Teacher

2007-08-20T11:40:00.000-07:00

From Alumni 2006, Anne Branch:

One of the elementary schools in the district where I work has an opening
for a Technology Teacher. Responsibilities include planning and presenting
lessons to 1st through 5th grade students as well as collaborating with
classroom teachers to plan computer lab projects and to integrate technology in their own teaching.There is a Mac (OS X) lab and Macs in all classrooms; the tech teacher is responsible for supporting all computers (including a few PCs) on campus.

It's an 80% (usually 4 days a week) position on the certificated salary schedule.

There are four elementary schools in the Orinda Union School District.
I'm the tech teacher at one of the other schools; the tech teachers are a pretty
tight group and support each other well. The position is open because the
previous teacher retired after many years.

Orinda is in Contra Costa County, just through the Caldecott Tunnel.
It's reverse commute, though, and several of the teachers at my school live in
SF.

The position requires a teaching credential; there is a bonus for a
masters degree. If you've taken ITEC 815 and/or 816, this is your chance to put
them to use!

Thanks,

one for my school. Use the same application or email me if you or anyone you
know is interested.
