So many students are learning virtually today, which increases the need for quality online academic content. 

Students in ED 510 are learning to create engaging and interactive digital lessons using SoftChalk. I hope you enjoy viewing their work!

How Awesome is Teaching!

The really cool thing about educational technology courses, to me, is the amount of content that can be taught/learned in each lesson. For example, students in ED 510 just completed a module covering digital presentations. In this module, not only did they learn to create a presentation, they learned so much more - 

For example, in the Digital Storytelling Presentation featured below, the student learned:

1. Digital design best practices (how to effectively design a presentation)
2. Presentation best practices (how to effectively deliver the presentation - voice, tone, engaging the audience)
3. How to use Prezi
4. How to use lecture capture software
5. How to upload a presentation to server space
6. How to generate a public URL for publishing the video
   
7. Creativity - in the design process
   
8. Information processing skills - this particular student learned about teaching/learning using “digital storytelling”
1. How to gather information
2. Organize the information
3. Present findings

HELP!!!! HOW DO I MANAGE ALL OF THIS TECHNOLOGY??????

 With the emergence of technology into the K-12 classrooms, an understanding and application of technology management best practices is a must. 

Students in ED 410/411 have been gathering information about K-12 classroom technology management. They shared their information in digital presentations. Enjoy viewing and learning from their outstanding work!

Technology Integration Frameworks

 Students in ED 410/411 have been learning about technology integration frameworks. This presentation does a GREAT job providing both an overview and an in depth summary of five frameworks, but also includes discussion about application. Enjoy!
