Ed Psy 490I is the capstone technology
course for the CTER2 cohort. The overall goal is for students to explore
advanced uses of the web and to apply their learning to projects with
instructional value for the subject areas and levels they are teaching. In
keeping with class members' suggestions, we will be focusing on four main
technical areas: educational simulations on the web, streaming multimedia,
server-side and client-side interactivity, and troubleshooting. Additional
course readings and discussion will focus on theories undergirding the
field of educational technology, with an eye toward their application to
the range of educational resources we explore.
Because
this is a summer intensive course, students can expect to spend 25 to 30
hours per week involved in course activities. About one-third of the
course time each week should be spent on the week's Technology Focus
(educational simulations in Week 1, streaming multimedia in Week 2,
database-backed resources in Week 3). Another one-third of the course
time will involve a Theory Focus - reading and discussing core
literature in educational technology; all readings are available online,
and all discussions will be in WebBoard. Finally, students will spend
about one-third of their time in this course focusing on their Major Project,
an educational website which
incorporates one or more of the advanced technologies we explore.
