Technology-Based Teaching
Using technology to engage today's learners
Using technology tools individually to support particular skills and knowledge is one thing, but how do we design educational environments that approach technology use holistically?
Problem- and Project-based Learning
Students learn content by seeking solutions to problems and/or creating authentic products that require content knowledge
How do we use technology (or not) as part of an overall course design?
But don't forget principles of good teaching
Flipped Classroom
Move the lectures online to facilitate in-class discussion, creation, and support
Personalized Learning Environments (PLEs)
Stages of Personalized Learning Environments
Students work with teachers to set goals, design assessments, select tools and resources for learning and demonstrating knowledge, and progress at their own pace.
Fully Online Courses
All instruction takes place online synchronously, asynchronously, or both
