Emerging Technologies |
| Course Outline |
Course Outline |
| Description |
Participants in this course will explore emerging technologies and ways to effectively integrate them into the teaching and learning environment. As technologies continue to evolve, it is important for educators to stay abreast of the new developments. For instance, the web has rapidly transformed from the first generation (mostly read only) to the second generation (often called the Web 2.0 or the Read/Write web) to the current generation (the Web 3.0). As the web has undergone these transformations, the corresponding innovations in technologies have had a significant impact on the teaching and learning environment. Participants will develop skills that support digital age learners. Participants will develop activities and lessons for classes they teach and learn to use these applications effectively for instruction. |
