ETC 547: Instructional Theory and Strategies in Technology Integration

Credit Hours: 3
Format: Online
Semesters Offered: Fall and Spring
Prerequisites: Being admitted into the Ed Tech Program

ETC 547 is designed to provide educators with the opportunity and tools to examine and reflect on alternative ways to plan, organize, and implement classroom instruction that integrates technology in the K-12 curriculum. It is planned as a foundational class for teachers just beginning graduate study in curriculum and instruction, as well as an update for educators interested in recent research and innovative practice in the integration of technology in the classroom.

In order to meet the goals and objectives of ETC 547, students will research, read, and report on theorists and theories of learning, participate in synchronous (chat) and asynchronous (bulletin board) discussions on a variety of topics and readings, and complete hands-on activities that model technology integration in educational settings.
