The integration (not merely addition) of technology into a classroom creates opportunities for rich educational experiences that are inquiry-oriented, learner-centered, and multisensory while accommodating varying learning styles.This foundation course offers a hands-on overview of effective teaching methods using digital technologies. We shall explore uses of digital imagery, the internet, digital concept mapping, podcasting, and digital storytelling in addition to other technologies as means of developing productive instructional interactions. We shall also pursue readings and discussions intended to help each student develop his/her own informed ideas about technology use in the classroom. Classes will include readings, tutorials, hands-on experience with educational technology and discussions of reflections on our work.
