281 Tools and the Curriculum
"Tools and the Curriculum" seamlessly blends basic technological applications with established areas of the curriculum. Students will explore software applications and technology tools as integrated facets of well-established teaching strategies. Learning and applying strategies to new and unique problem-solving situations is expected. In addition, participants in this cluster will use a number of communication procedures that enhance tool use including e-mail, online learning and research, and multimedia. In the process, students evaluate and synthesize theories of learning best suited to developing new instructional strategies.
