EDUC515 Spring 2012
Utilization of Computers in Teaching Course Outline The assignments and readings listed below are intended to be a guideline, therefore additional class assignments and readings may be assigned, may change or be adjusted to best accommodate the needs of the class. This is only an outline for the course. Becauseof time constraints, we will try to follow the schedule as best as possible. Whenever possible, schedule changeswill be discussed as a group; however, I have the final say. If you miss class on a day in which I announce changes, it is your responsibility to obtain them. All assignments and readings must be completed before each class meeting. Homework Every week a homework assignment will be shared and/or posted to the class wiki on topics related to that week’s topic. Each homework assignment has two tasks. The first task is designed to help you consolidate your understanding of how a range of technologies have been used in educational settings and give you an opportunity to reflect on their effectiveness. The second part is more technical. You will be given a specific task and you will respond to it by using the specific technology explored in the respective week.
