You'll work with other teachers and individually on projects to meet your needs. Readings and discussion will be built into the learning, giving you background to help put the current learning into context. 

You will go home with a CD-ROM loaded with helpful shareware and freeware, course information, links to good sites, and the projects you and others have created during the session. We'll also have a discussion list set up for you to continue the conversation long after you've headed home! 

Tuition for the one-week session is $600, which includes university fees that allow you access to the library and all computing services on campus. University housing is available for approximately $28/day, double occupancy. University housing fills up quickly, so please make sure you let us know as soon as possible if you'd like us to make the arrangements for you. Other housing options are also possible; please contact us at the address below for additional possibilities. 

These sessions may be taken for credit. There is an extra fee for credit, payable to Oregon State University. Please let us know if you are interested in taking the sessions for credit. 

Payment must be in US funds. We accept checks drawn on US funds, Visa, and MasterCard.

We're also offering our Traveling Technology Seminars, for those who'd like to have the Technology Seminar brought to your door. See more information here or write to Deborah.Healey@orst.edu for more information on the Traveling Technology Seminars.
