Computers, Technology, and Education |
An introduction to using computers and technology in education. The various
uses of computers and technology in education are examined in depth as
participants are introduced to a wide variety of K-12 educational software and
the Internet, and explore the pedagogical issues raised by the use of
computers for students, teachers, and school administrators. These include the
consequences for learning; problem solving; organizing data; creativity; and
an integrated curriculum. Finally, the course looks at ways in which
technology may be used as a tool to facilitate changes in the ways teachers
teach and students learn, and ultimately to stimulate reform in education. The
course has a field component where students observe computers being used in
the classroom. 3 Lect Hrs, 3 Credits
