Innovative Instructional Tech






	Please bring a "jump/flash" drive or a Laptop computer to class.

	This course includes an introduction to the applications of technology and pedagogical skills used within the school environment. The primary goal of this course is to provide the learner with essential skills through the development and use of instructional applications, educational software, and computers.

	Introduction Video: Innovative Instructional Technologies (YouTube Video14:46 Minutes)


	Video: The Reflective Process Explained (Video 8:43 Min.)
	The Reflective assignments may include various articles within different formats, e.g., HTML, Adobe Reader, Web pages, etc. A goal of this course is to provide individuals with the ability to access and read information directly from the Internet. The delivery of this course content is very similar to a virtual classroom; therefore, it is important to retrieve this information independently. Printing documents from this Website is acceptable. However, if at all possible try to read the documents directly from the Internet.

	Writing reflections requires the ability to identify the topic or thesis statement of the article. Stay within the parameter of the thesis statement. The reflection should not contain your opinions or broad statements that are out of context. Generalized or rhetorical statements should also be avoided.

	For this course, we may use either the Article Reflective Review document, or an online Moodle Forum (web discussion). This will be determined prior to our first meeting.


	Grading will occur from the satisfactory completion of assignments found within this course. An EDUC 216/515 Assignment Checklist may be downloaded and used as a self-directed check sheet to monitor your progress as you work through this course assignment list.
