Using Technology to Bring the Art of Winslow Homer into Your Classroom

This workshop will introduce you to

paintings by Winslow Homer that can be used to

enrich and inform standards-based instruction in

Language Arts, history, and science. Strategies for

creating your own lessons will be shared, as well as

you. In addition, you will learn how to save files and

create a writing template with an image.
