Advanced Study of Technology - Section Two

EDUC X 571 (Section Two)

Description

In this class, students are introduced to advanced web searching techniques and to additional information sources available only by subscription. Candidates are asked to read and reflect on the assessment process, particularly when looking at technology-based student products such as web sites, multimedia presentations, or digital videos. Candidates will be asked to review and create rubrics as assessment tools. As a direct compliment to this activity, candidates will be asked to review several ruberic-creation web sites and to generate a ruberic of their own. Candidates will be encouraged to reflect on their teaching experiences and how the availability of technological resources and tools have impacted student learning (such as student engagement, motivation, and attitudes toward learning) within the context of collaborative, project-based learning activities. At the end of this course students will have achieved the following outcomes:

• Ability to interact with other professionals through a variety of methods, including the use of computer-based collaboritive tools to support technology-enhanced curriculum,
• Ability to use technological resources available inside the classroom or other locations to create technology-enhanced lessons aligned with the adopted curriculum,
• Ability to use computer applications to manipulate and analyze data as a tool for assessing student learning, and to provide feedback to students and their parents
