\u201cTechnology in education is less about the toolset and skillset and more about the mindset. The teacher\u2019s most prominent role in the digital age is that of lead learner.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\n

Gone are the days when the word classroom brought to mind an image of a dusty blackboard, chalk or the dim light from an overhead projector machine. Instead we think of smart boards, computers and other technology. Libraries and books as reference material are supplemented by the internet, blogs and Google which are available at our (and our students!) fingertips. This two part integrated course, Technology Today, helps to bridge the gap, enabling safe implementation of technology in classrooms and preventing misuse by either students or adults while promoting effective learning.<\/p>\n

SECTION A<\/strong> enhances professional development by presenting tools, techniques and resources to advance skills in using technology. Introduction to Technology for Teachers highlights the advantages of using technology as both a resource and a tool for educators in their classrooms.<\/p>\n

Technology can promote effective learning only when used in the right manner. SECTION B<\/strong>, Technology in the 21st century Classroom<\/em>, imparts valuable information regarding the principles of integrating technology in a way that promotes learning without being a distraction.<\/p>\n

The third section of this course stresses the need to protect students from possible dangers in the online world. It helps to create awareness about the threats existing in the virtual world. SECTION C<\/strong>, Internet Safety<\/em> is filled with practical ideas and steps that educators can take to ensure safety of the students who have access to the internet whether through classroom technology, at home or via their cell phones.<\/p>\n

This integrated course helps educators gain an extensive outlook using technology effectively as well as safely.<\/p>\n
