Everyone has a copy of Internet Explorer, Real Player, Adobe Acrobat, and
countless other Internet applications. But do you really know how to tame these

bookmarklets to the joy of IE's links bar to stealing text from Acrobat files.
We'll even show you how to tweak AOL Instant Messenger so that it no longer
scares the living heck out of you when you get a new message.
Classwebs: Cultivating the Internet for
Learning
Strand: FEATURED SPEAKER
Location:
Ball Room A
David Warlick, Landmark for Schools
Our classrooms are intricate and ever-shifting puzzles that exist under enormous
strain from many directions. Fitting something as global and nebulous as the
Internet into this already over-stressed puzzle is a challenge. The key to
integrating the global network and related technologies into our classrooms is
being able to mold and shape the Internet so that it fits our students' needs,
our teaching styles, and our curriculum standards. ClassWebs are webpages
created by teachers to help their students learn specific content and skills.
This session will help participants learn to create and publish online learning
spaces for their students. Through small group activities, participants will
discover three unique qualities of the Internet. The presenter will then
demonstrate how these qualities can be leveraged for teaching and learning by
constructing webpages designed for student use--webpages that put a face on the
Internet that is consistent with the teaching and learning styles of a specific
class and its instructional objectives.
Using Technology To Differentiate Instruction
Strand: FEATURED SPEAKER
Location:
Ball Room B
Chris Moersch, LoTi Developer, National Business Education Alliance
Using the resources of the web, tool-based applications, and presentation

differentiate sample elementary, middle, and high school web-based projects
based on the ability level of the learner and create a technology-rich learning
experience for a random K-12 group of learners based on variables such as
learner profile, interests, and ability levels.
