 * Here's the outline (developing) for my project:**

Mini-course Template Part One Overview - Page One

Topic: Title: Technology II: Summer Graduate Course II Brief Description (for example 10-50 words):

Technology can be maddening. In a traditional education model, where the teacher is the expert, student use of technology is often limited to what the teacher knows. With a philosophical shift, where you learn along with students and peers, and some interesting shifts and learning can take place. We’ll explore ideas, strategies, strengths and pitfalls here.

Do you want your students to gain knowledge how? about? or of? Yes! Who is this lesson for: Graduate Students at Southern NH U, a Master or Arts in Teaching program (not with a tech emphasis). Where will the learner be? (I’m assuming this means physical space?) Two weeks to review materials prior to the course and prepare prerequisites. Week long institute (8-3pm, M-F) at a location.

Rationale Why is this course necessary or valuable for your learners, Why do it online, Why did you choose the format you chose, What is the learning theory (ies) you think you will employ? It’s designed to help teachers more readily use technology to collaborate, learn along with students, and publish. in all, these goals increase collaboration, creativity, and learning. This course will employ four major learning theories: behaviorist, cognitivist, constructivist, and connectivist, as well as ‘Multiple Intelligences’ (Gardner), and Reggio Emilia pedagogy with children.

Learning objectives - After completing this course, the learner will be able to: Use, understand, and promote collaboration within: Twitter Facebook Google Sites and / or Blogger Google Apps Individual student projects Learning outside school constructs and / or course titles, and school schedule. Create a class web site and / or student (blog or site) to increase communication with students and parents and practice learning and reflection. Promote student learning outside the teachers skill area.

Are there any skills or conditions or previous courses required before attempting this course. Familiarity with a computer is helpful. There is (will be) a list of recommended tutorials in the two-week preparation phase.

Each student will fill out a ‘hand-it-in’ form for every assignment section that cites the location of their assignment and personal reflection. It’s also designed to show the potential use of Google Forms to streamline assessment, review, and communication.
 * How will you or the students assess learning This could be a quiz that is auto corrected, it could be a personal reflection, it could be a google form that students submit?**

Students will also fill out a larger online summative rubric to reflect on their work. Again, this is a two-fold design, it will ask the student engage and reflect on learning in different areas and also show the potential of the medium itself.

Part Three. You can post this on your blog or submit it in the Moodle course under the final module activity called Final Reflection My own reflection on this project (for MAT610).
