Welcome to the 2nd annual Lewis & Clark Rediscovery Project Summer Institute! Over the course of this 2-week intensive workshop we will be conducting a number of skills development "training sessions" in creating web pages and sites, use of GIS and image processing, QTVR and panorama stitching and other tools and technologies involved in creating online portfolios and Rediscovery Web teaching and learning scenarios. During the workshop all participants will have access to a lap top computer. The first week of the workshop will largely be whole group and break-out training sessions. A number of sessions will be concurrently offered and you will have the opportunity to choose sessions of interest to you. The second week will focus on using the tools for local project creation with an example activity modeled (Astoria and 200 years of change).
 
We have included a break out session on lesson design and will give participants an assignment to come to the workshop with a lesson design (plan), or part of a lesson, based around technology and the backbone CD-ROM. By the end of the workshop participants will set their individual lesson as a web page.
 
On Tuesday evening of the first week there will be a poster session on your local projects. Your work and local program needs to be posted on one to two 3'x4' bulletin boards and two hours have been set for 1:1 interactions with teachers from other districts. Guidelines and a sample poster will be set up on the Rediscovery website under "Resources".

There is a minimum competency level necessary in all the main technologies introduced in the project to-date, and we hope everyone can demopnstrate proficiency in those, or come close, by the end of the 2 week session. At least one person in each district group should be very knowledgeable, i.e. be able to teach the technology, in the following technologies:

• Basic Web page scripting and HTML
• Use of Netscape Composer
• Front Page/Dreamweaver
• Use of Photoshop software
• Use of the digital camera, including making and stiching of Quicktime VR panoramas
• Use of the GPS unit for GIS and photojournaling
• Use of Arc View/Arc Voyager software

• Making audio and video vignettes for the web and for CDROM delivery.
• Collecting video for assessment...action research
• Setting your own lessons and creating discussion groups.
