This five-day graduate course teaches teachers how to effectively integrate technology into their curriculum. Participants will learn tools for archiving, sharing, organizing information online. They will also learn how to find and evaluate media resources and conduct advanced online research. The course covers using blogs, wikis and other collaboration tools for reflection and building a personal learning network. By the end, teachers will create a technology-infused lesson plan incorporating tools taught in the course.

1. 1. Catalog Description
This five-day course is based on best practice designed to help teachers to create a cogent
program that integrates a variety of technological resources. Participants will learn how to use
technology to promote the development of concepts, to build knowledge and skills, to engage
learners in critical thinking and to foster collaboration. Students will learn a variety of Web 2.0
tools that will be used to research and influence a unit of curriculum. The tools will be utilized
within the unit and help with the assessment of the unit.
2. Catalog Overview
Students will walk through a sequential process of learning how to learn and teach with
technology that will expand upon their own personal learning strategies, their use of technology
within their classroom, and how technology can improve education as a whole. The course will
be broken into five phases. Phase one is archiving, sharing, and organization. Students will
learn how to save, share, and organize information on the web for professional and class use.
Phase two is Media Literacy or how to find new media resources to incorporate in class. Phase
three is Information Literacy including advance research and evaluation techniques. Phase four
is reflection and collaboration in the digital age using blogs, wikis, multimedia podcasts, and
screencasts (Read/Write Web). Phase five is participation for learning. Students will learn about
the value of building a personal learning network using social media networks like Ning,
Facebook, and Twitter. Upon completion of this course, students will have built a foundation of
learning that will provide them with a new context with which to utilize technology in the
learning process. The final product of the learning experience will be a technology infused unit
of curriculum that incorporates the use of a variety of technology tools including: tagging,
Delicious, Diigo, Creative Commons copyright, RSS readers, custom search engines, website
evaluation resources, advance search, blogs, wikis, podcasts, video sites, screencasts, multimedia
presentation tools, and social networks.
3. Student Learning Objectives:

address that gap.
• Use the latest technology tools to present material, create activities and assess student
achievement.
• Create and implement learning activities that enhance the identified NETS for students.
• Enhance current teaching practices via the NETS for teachers.

2. 4. Teaching Method/Class Format
The majority of class time will be working with technology in a hands-on lab setting. Some
direct instruction will be followed immediately by application of the new skill. Instruction will
be differentiated as needed, to meet the needs of the group. Small flexible groups will be created
as needed to explore the emerging technologies and learning processes.
Class meetings will involve a combination of presentation, discussion, hands-on laboratory, and
personal reflection. In addition, students are encouraged to participate in class discussion. Each
student will have access to a computer connected to the Internet as well as an opportunity to use
various other pieces of multimedia technology including an LCD projector connected to a
computer.
