Technology in Education
In this second week of the course, you will explore various educational technologies to enhance teaching and learning.
By the end of the week, you will have a better understanding of:
- the purpose and types of educational technologies;
- the unique opportunities provided by educational technologies; and
- how specific educational technologies enhance the teaching and learning experience.
This week is divided into two sections:
2.1: Integrating technology in education
2.2: Benefits of technology in education
There are also two discussion forums this week, where you will be asked:
- what you would need in order to bring new technologies into your classroom, and
- what your students might miss in using new technology and other potential drawbacks.
As you watch your instructor's videos and go through the readings and other resources, think about these questions. It will help you as you participate in the forums and prepare you for the assignment at the end of the course.
