We will meet for five weeks for a total of 10.5 hours a week. This demanding schedule will be accompanied by an intensive reading, writing, and computing load, so be prepared for a whirlwind ride! We will focus on grief, crisis and hope as they occur in and affect teaching and learning in the schools. Death, dying, illness, loss, bereavement, violence, etc. are difficult to face in our own lives and are especially challenging for teachers and school administrators to cope with as they try to provide the safest, most responsive educational environment for students. Tragedy can erupt into the classrooms abruptly and without warning or can be an immediate presence in the school over an extended period of time. One is never fully prepared for whether it is the grave illness of a student in the class, a child's loss of a family member, or the announcement on the news of a devastating tragedy such as the Oklahoma City Bombing or the massive and widespread impact of the recent tsunami. Whatever subject matter or grade level one teaches, whatever one's role in the school, thoughtful preparation and education are key to responding appropriately to tragedy, to developing best practices for prevention, intervention, postvention of violence and suicide, and in finding ways to foster hope in your students and to help them find meaning in difficult times and to make appropriate ethical decisions. The class will involve discussion, workshop activities, readings, a/v materials and participation in WebCT. Students will also research a specific aspect of grief, crisis, etc. and develop a formal response plan for their own classrooms which they will present orally and in PowerPoint with accompanying handouts to the remainder of the class. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture Social Science Graduate College Educational Technology Department Course Attributes: MET COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS

This course will place teachers in the role of technology-supported writers who will create an authentic work, meaning they will write for an audience that they identify beyond the peers and professors for this course. Teachers will participate in a writers' workshop to create, revise, give feedback to peers, and prepare material(s) for publication. Student projects may take the form of an article for publication in a journal, a website, a curriculum unit, or be of a form proposed by the teacher. During the course, teachers will become familiar with emerging technologies and develop an ability to use technology in the classroom to support writing. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Lecture Social Science Graduate College Educational Technology Department Course Attributes: MET COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS

Advanced Technology in the Curriculum continues to enhance resources from leading high-tech companies to improve technology integration in the classroom. This professional development addresses the challengesteachers face in effectively applying computer technology to enhance student learning including troubleshooting techniques. The trainings incorporate the use of the Internet, Smart Board technology, web page design, and multi-media software. Software includes Microsoft Encarta and Inspiration. The trainings also develop an understanding of web-based video clips and their incorporation into a multimedia presentation. Teachers will leave the course with a solidly documented Unit Portfolio that engages students in the use of technology. The assessments will be aligned with the State Core Curriculum Content Standards, as well as, ISTE's National Educational Technology Standards for Students (NETS*S), a standard for educational uses of technology that facilitates school improvement in the United States. Each assessment will meet at least two NETS*S standards. This course will be taught in ten 4-hour modules over the two weeks with an additional 20 hours of on-line instruction, support and mentoring. Class sessions combine hands-on, exploratory, lecture, tutorial, and individual practice experiences.

This course is an exploration of how diseases spread in human populations. Basic principles of epidemiology will be introduced. We will explore how bacteria, viruses, eukaryotic parasites and prions may cause disease. We will examine our naturally occurring defenses and how our body can fight off infections. We will also explore how these concepts can be most effectively taught in the K-12 classroom by researching resources available for these diverse student populations. We will explore computer models of infection that reinforce epidemiological principles and Web quests and computer based interactive simulations of laboratory activities. We will also meet on-site a number of times to explore laboratory and classroom activities that can be applied in an educational setting. 0.000 TO 4.000 Credit Hours 0.000 TO 4.000 Lecture hours Levels: Graduate Schedule Types: Online Course Social Science Graduate College Educational Technology Department Course Attributes: MET COURSE FOR GRAD FEE ASSESS
