Welcome to Learning in the Digital Age

Welcome to Learning in the Digital Age – Higher Ed Edition! 

We begin Monday, June 13 at 4:30 PM in the Institute, room 220.

The class Moodle site, EDU8150U10216SU, is up. You will find the course syllabus on the Moodle site at the top.

It will be helpful if you bring your laptop to class. If you do not have one let me know and we can make arrangements to use one from the department.

The books you will need are:

Jacobs, H. H. (Ed.). (2010) Curriculum 21: Essential education for a changing world. Alexandria, VA: ASCD. ISBN: 978-1416609407

Pitler, H., Hubbekk, E. R., &  Kuhn, M. (2012). Using technology with classroom instruction that works (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: ASCD. ISBN: 978-14166-1430-2 (Note this is the 2nd edition.)

Later in the class, we will look at the National Technology plan, Transforming American Education: Learning Powered by Technology – don’t purchase a copy as it is available as a pdf on the Moodle site.

It will be helpful if you have read the Introduction and Chapter 1, 2 and 3 in Using Technology with Classroom Instruction That Works before the first class meeting.

You may want to take a look at Assignment One and get started early. Instructions are on the Moodle site in the June 14 section and in the syllabus.

I look forward to seeing you on June 13. Let me know if you have any questions
 or concerns.
