LITEWorks!

     The LITE fellows, in pursuit of creating meaningful connections with teachers, students, and schools in the Houston area, have begun designing and implementing the LITE Works program. The concept is that the LITE fellows will make themselves available to teachers and students to help them in developing further their technology skills. We understand that many teachers have access to technology and software, but they are not always sure how they are to incorporate it into their curricula. Because we are part of the Curriculum and Instruction department in an institution of higher education like University of Houston, we have access to knowledge and technology that is useful to teachers and students. We would like to disseminate this knowledge to those in need. We imagine ourselves as a mobile team or “task force” that is available to teachers and students as a resource for educational technology application. Teachers and students may come to our LITE laboratory, or we may go to their classrooms.
