Course Description:
We have a plethora of technology to choose and teachers can use it to effectively impact academic achievement. This online course highlights many applications and implementations of technology in the classroom.
Teachers will be introduced to the practical application of iPads to enhance learning in SECTION A: iPads in the Classroom and discover how to plan and organize the use of iPads in the classroom for a smooth and efficient operation.
In SECTION B: Apps for Education, teachers choose and successfully implement the “right or optimal” apps for their classroom. Teachers are shown to critically consider apps and software, specifics and the educational impact of an app prior to application in the classroom.
Flipped Classrooms can transform a traditional classroom into one that uses technology and embraces classroom engagement. In SECTION C: Flipping Classrooms, teachers will learn to design and create their own flipped classroom lessons.
