Graduate Course Description
Building Online Collaborative Environments™ Online
Overview
How can classroom teachers harness the power of online technologies like blogs, podcasts, and wikis for student engagement and learning? Course participants will experience the Web as more than a source of information, instead using it as a means of constructing new knowledge through conversation, networking, and collaboration. The focus is on tools currently available and how to use them effectively for student research, writing, and learning.
"It really couldn’t be much more simple for teachers to learn technology. My students are going to have fun with technology designed for learning.”
