This
course explores ways in which technology can be used to promote curriculum
reform as enunciated by various national, authoritative agencies (National
Academy of Sciences, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics,
etc). One unifying theme to be explored is that of curriculum
integration.
In this
course, "integration" is used in two main ways:
- To incorporate technology into instruction in order to help us reach our educational
goals. That is, the emphasis is on learning WITH technology
rather than learning ABOUT technology.
- To utilize technology to promote integration of subject matter, focusing on major ideas, and
blurring conventional subject matter compartmentalization.
