EDUC 6341: Instructional Technology Methods

Using technology in the classroom is not something that can just be “done” because we have technology and therefore must use it. It must be planned. Teachers must have understanding of students and their abilities in order to effectively integrate technology into the classroom. Teachers must be prepared for anything that can happen when using technology, such as device failure, ethical use, evaluation of tools, reducing off-task behavior, and best practices for use. This course explores best practices in technology integration in teaching and learning.
