9467 Technology to Enhance Learning

Explore the "technology landscape" - from concept-mapping tools to interactive webcasts - with a focus on supporting meaningful learning and problem solving. During the course, you will use emerging technologies with untapped potential, and established technologies with a new twist. Most importantly, your learning activities are easily transported from this course to your classroom.

I have learned the importance of learning "with" technology. We have discussed learning "from" vs. learning "with" and have decided that although technology can be used to make projects easier, it's extremely important that we use technology to enhance learning. I have discovered the KITE website. I plan on sharing that web site with my teachers in my district. Other resources I have discovered during this course include microworlds and building learning communities that surpass the limitations of physical space.
