Description:

This course provides hands-on technology instruction, including film production, interactive whiteboards, and podcasting, useful to future secondary teachers. The course also focuses on strategies for assessment and methods of teaching including unit plans, including a field component to apply knowledge of technology and assessment. It is an introduction to pedagogies of technology and strategies of assessment, specifically designed for secondary education majors. This class will require students to shift their perspective from primarily a teacher candidate who is an undergraduate student to a professionally engaged teacher who is ready to enter the profession. To accomplish this shift they will discuss theoretical frameworks for integrating technology into the classroom, as well as create projects with a number of different digital composition tools. Along the way, they'll discuss the various assessment concerns that come with teaching with technology, including assessing multimodal projects and designing effective group work.
