This
course offers an introduction to the use of Information Technology
in K-12 schools, pursuing the question: How can computing technology
enhance learning, and what does this require of teachers? Readings and assignments will attempt to balance two principal goals:
the development of technical skills and competencies, and the development
of students’ awareness of persistent issues surrounding the use of
computing technology in schools. For several of the major assignments,
students will have the opportunity to customize the focus to a K-12
content area and grade level of personal interest.
Learning Goals:
Students will...
- Become familiar with the educational affordances and constraints of a variety of computer applications commonly used in public schools
- Design a piece of web-based curriculum to enhance lessons in a K-12 classroom
- Become familiar with persistent issues surrounding the selection and use of information and communication technologies for public schools
