COURSE DESCRIPTION
This HANDS-ON course is designed to acquaint you with possible
uses of educational technology for yourself as teacher and your future
students. Through a project emphasis you will learn how to use the internet,
multimedia tools, and techniques in your classroom and for your own productivity
as a teacher.
OBJECTIVE
The course is designed to provide an overview of educational technology.
Our aim is that the course will increase your confidence in using technology
to the point that you will integrate technology into your lessons with
your future students in a way that enhances learning.
GRADING POLICY
A passing grade for the course is achieved by completing the project
and missing no more than one class. If you can't make a class, you may
attend one of the other sections, if arranged with the instructor ahead
of time. You may make revisions to achieve a complete and quality project.
The grade for a completed project will be dropped one grade if not turned
in by Dec. 13th. Revisions must be turned in according to arrangement made
with the instructor.
COURSE REQUIREMENTS
Each student must get a Willamette University email account. Students
are expected to check their email and the course Blackboard site at least
once a week. Students must not save files on Willamette computers. They
can email files to themselves or bring removable media. Students must attend
each class and submit a complete project explained below.
METHODOLOGY
Each class will include brief explanations of how to use certain technology.
However, the majority of time will be spent in hands-on activity and exploration
with technology based projects. The lab has much more capability than our
time allows to demonstrate. Therefore, interested students are encouraged
to extend themselves in areas such as video production, creation of Web
sites, etc. Additional help is available online
and by appointment with instructors.
