This course prepares educators in K-12 and adult education settings to implement instruction and assessment that targets four essential digital-age learning objectives: critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration. Students will learn about and apply the TPACK framework, which describes three forms of knowledge educators need to integrate educational technologies into instruction effectively - technical knowledge, pedagogical knowledge, and content knowledge. Alongside the TPACK framework, students will learn about and apply the SAMR Model, which describes four different types of educational technology integration: Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition. Applying their understanding of TPACK, SAMR, and other concepts and practices from course readings and activities, students will design technology-rich learning activities/learning units for use in their own professional settings.
