An Overview of Educational Technology

Read Bruce & Levin "Taxonomy of Education Uses of Technology"

Read Bruce & Levin "Roles for New Technologies in Language Arts: Inquiry, Communication, Construction, and Expression" (login as "guest" with password "guest"). Read it initially with the comments "linked". Then you can switch to "inline" comments when deciding what comments you'd like to make. Enter at least one comment on at least one part of this "interactive paper".

Read Levin & Bruce Technology as Media: A Learner Centered Perspective

In WebBoard, respond to these papers, especially focusing on the potential of the taxonomy to provide guidance for generating innovative uses of technology (the section titled "Using the Taxonomy to Look Ahead" in the 2nd paper). Are the kinds of uses generated there (Language Construction Set and Language Workbench) plausible? Can you generate other innovative uses using the taxonomy? Put the URL for this posting in C-Base.

Respond to at least two other classmembers' postings in this "Bruce & Levin" conference.

June 15
Major Project Proposal

Submit your proposal for a major project to WebBoard, and put the URL to that posting into C-Base. If you want, use the Major Project Proposal Prompter to help you include the key elements. Look at the CTER4 Edpsy 387 major projects from last summer to see the range and depth of major projects.

Respond to two other proposals that don't already have two responses, giving useful feedback.

Keep a log of technical problems you encounter. You can use this MS Word file to keep track on paper or you can enter them directly into the Troubleshooting Knowledgebase web site.

For each problem, note the date, a description of the problem, and what you did to deal with it. Post your initial log entries by June 21st and then post the rest of them by July 3rd.
