[MLTI-MS] REMINDER: 2007 Student Tech Team Day at UMO, June 1st

[Brown, Laura]

We are writing to remind everyone to register their students for the 4th
Annual MLTI Student Tech Team Day at the University of Maine Orono on June
1, 2007.  This year¹s theme is M-STEM: Maine Learners, Science, Technology,
Engineering, and Mathematics.

We are adding more sessions daily, and when you visit our web site, you can
see that this is going to be another great learning opportunity!  Please be
sure to register yourself and your students by using the registration link
at this web site:

Here are a few samples of the kinds of sessions we have planned:

GarageBand is Easier Than You Think: An overview of making your own music
with Apple's GarageBand - In this music-filled session, we'll learn how to
use GarageBand to create music completely from scratch. We'll use
GarageBand's thousands of built-in sounds and loops  -  and augment them
with other instruments such as a guitar or MIDI keyboard. Whether you are a
musician or someone who can barely tune a radio, you'll discover how easy
(and fun) it is to make professional sounding songs, music soundtracks
(think movies, podcasts, etc!) and even your very own CDs. Making music has
never been more simple!

Oh My Goodness! I Blew up the Screen!: This session will explore high
resolution visualization using tiled displays.  Students will generate large
images (the current idea is fractals, but may be something else) based on
inquiry-based exploration.  Students will work in teams to not only create
the images, but also to view them.  Each student's laptop will be used to
display a piece of the overall image, allowing both a larger display and
higher resolution than could be attained with a single laptop.

NoteShare: Way Beyond The Basics:  OK... You're using NoteShare in your
school, but are you really using it in all the ways possible???  We doubt
it... Come to this session and learn at least a dozen amazing things
NoteShare can do that you will be able to show your teachers and classmates.

Thank you for your continued participation in the MLTI Project!
