EDUC 5443 - Educator Effectiveness Using Technology Support

Credit Hours: 1

Students are growing up in a world of emerging technology that is ever-present in their lives . Research shows that integrating technology in the classroom improves understanding and increases collaboration among students . But do we, as educators, understand how to effectively incorporate this now termed “new discipline” into our current teaching practice? Effective incorporation of the use of technology provides connectivity, motivation, opportunities, greater developed teaching content, and excitement! As educators, it is a responsibility that we impart an education which includes technology as a means to prepare our students for success. Join us as we explore and evaluate technology and apps that can be used to individualize instruction, allow for student collaboration, and better manage classroom behavior. Participants will analyze introduced programs; gaining skills on technology management and incorporation into teaching practices for student achievement.
