Course Description
        This online, applied  course is designed  to provide educators with knowledge,
        skills and experience in implementing educational technology into a pedagogical-
        ly sound learning environment. Education Technology for Learning is intended to
        be a general launching point for your own exploration and learning about informa-
        tion technology (IT). EDDL 5101 emphasizes the critical evaluation and pedagog-
        ical design aspects of integrating technology in instruction.


        This course takes a hands-on approach to identifying and evaluating appropriate
        technologies and resources to support teaching and learning in any education
        context. The course emphasizes planning and developing instruction that inte-
        grates technology. Because the world of technology is complex, and especially
        so in education, it is challenging to design a course of study that is right for all stu-
        dents. You, and every other student, bring with you a unique set of experiences
        and interests that enhance your learning and determine your individual learning
        needs. The goal of Educational Technology for Learning is to provide the starting
        ground for your personal development with educational technology.
