PREREQUISITE

Note: students with credit for any Computing course cannot take this course for fiirt her credit.

You will need to have Internet access to complete many of the assignments in this course. Therefore,

you must have Internet access at home or be on campus at least 2-3 times during the week. As well,

there will be some assignments that will require specific software applications available on computers

in the Faculty of Education Centre for Educational Technology (CET). You will, therefore, need to

schedule some time to work in the CET outside of class time.

DESCRIPTION

This course is designed to be interactive and hands-on. It will provide an exciting beginning

experience for those who desire to integrate technology into classroom teaching. The course is also

meant to introduce you to some of the social, cultural and instructional issues surrounding the use

of technology in Education through formal and informal discussions. The broad goal of the course is

to empower pre-service and in-service teachers to begin to use computer (primarily) technologies

from a basis of comfort, interest and meaning. As this is an introductory course, we will not achieve

great depth, however it is expected that you will leave this course with the confidence to pursue

further learning on your own and some concrete ideas about how to integrate technology into your

teaching.
