COURSE DESCRIPTION
In this course, students develop a critical understanding of information technologies in education and
learn how to integrate these technologies into classroom settings. An emphasis is on teaching strategies
and methods as they complement the guidelines set forth in the B.C. Curriculum.
Students enrolled in this course should be interested in specific aspects of teaching and learning in
'technology-rich' settings. The course will focus on the role of IT as a general change agent in society,
as a curriculum topic and as a tool used to promote specific types of teaching and learning. This course
is not an introductory computing course or a training course in the use of educational software. While it
is expected that students will learn about new applications during the course, a basic level of information
and computer literacy is assumed and required.
OBJECTIVES
In this course students will:
• develop appropriate models and methods for the implementation and management of information
and communication technologies (IC!') in educational settings.
• critically evaluate available information and communication technologies as they are used in
learning and teaching including WWW resources, email and conferencing software.
• compare and contrast the Integrated Resource Packages (IRPs) and Resource guidelines
published by the Ministry of Education with other IT guidelines published internationally.
• consider a variety of psycho-social and social-cultural factors influencing the implementation and
use of IT within different educational contexts.

course, therefore you will need access to a computer either at home or
,

group discussions attendance is necessary and will be included in a participation mark.
Time in the computer lab to work on your own projects. There will be some assignments that will
require specific software applications and technical support available in the CET (Centre for Educational
Technology). You will need to schedule your work time out side of class time in relation to the posted
hours of the CEr. Students who come to campus only one day a week and do not have adequate
computer access at home or work may find it very difficult to complete the course successfully.

45%
2.
Prepare a written evaluation of educational resources available on the WWW - 20%
