COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is an interactive and hands-on introduction to learning and teaching with computer

technologies, for students considering careers in K-12 teaching. Each session combines

lecture/discussion with demonstrations and lab work on course assignments. Through readings,

discussion and practical assignments, the course aims to introduce students to some of the major social,

cultural and instructional issues surrounding the use of computing and communications technologies in

schools. It is expected that you will gain some concrete ideas about how to integrate technology into

your teaching, and the confidence, knowledge and skills to pursue further learning on your own.
