Technology Integration

Integration of technology into the classroom is one of the reasons I decided to enroll in the MSET program. â€‹When Madison High School students all recieved laptop computers, I felt I needed to learn more about the educational technology they were going to have and I already had.  I needed to learn how to utilize the new technology in the instructional process and how to teach my students how to use the new technology for their educational experience.

Goals

Goal 1: Students will be leaders in educational technology

Goal 5: Students will be knowledgeable of current, technology-based educational tools and products.

LT 716 Systematic Design of Instruction - Dr. Donald Versteeg (Spring 2010)

This course in instructional design was to help its students identify goals and outcomes, classify outcomes by type of learning, determine the subskills required to obtain the desired outcome and develop assessments for each outcome. The final project had the students go through this process to create a final product.
