Introduction of the Yahoo Group Tool

Objectives:

• Clarify that there are many types of technologies
• Provide quality examples of technology integration lesson plans
• Evaluate technology integration lesson plans to see how they could be replicated in other Adult Ed classrooms.

Activity

1. Prior to workshop use www.groups.yahoo.com to establish a group for the Institute
2. Take participants on a tour of the resources available through the Yahoo Group site (file and link sharing, etc.)
3. Help participants join the group by creating a Yahoo ID for them
4. Note: We found that it is easiest for participants to sign up for a Yahoo E-mail account if they don't have one and to then use the Yahoo E-mail as their primary account for the group. If they don't, they are forced to respond to a verification E-mail before they can belong to the group, and it takes hours for these E-mails to be sent. Once they are in the group, they can use Edit My Profile feature to change their primary E-mail account
5. Explain the purpose of the discussion board
6. Have each participant Post one message and Reply to one message

Transitioning Statement

Even as some of the Internet Resources available for Adult Educators are geared toward communication and research, there are some resources that are designed specifically for the classroom.
