Welcome!
The goal for this course is to integrate information and communication technologies into 7-12 classroom curriculum and to prepare future teachers to use technologies to differentiate their instruction to meet the needs of all students. Technology will be used to revitalize pedagogy and provide teachers with the ability to develop lesson activities to utilize in the classroom so that students will make meaningful connections in their learning process and develop 21st Century learning skills.
Course Methodology
Course Requirements
- There is no required text for this class. You will however have articles to read, videos to watch, and websites to explore in preparation for our learning experience in class. This is an intense Summer course. You should expect to spend two hours of your own time outside of class for every hour of class.
- You will need extensive access to a computer and the internet outside of class.
- You should bring some type of storage device every day (usb, hard drive, cloud access, etc.)
