EDU 597 Internet for Teachers

3 Credits

Internet for Teachers is designed to provide additional support for students who wish to go beyond the fundamentals of using the Internet to access and share information. The course focuses on the Internet as a professional resource and communication medium, as well as a reference tool for students. In addition, the use of web-based Internet tools for delivering instruction via the Internet and the use of the Internet as a publishing medium are studied. Students are also taught how this technology can be used as an instructional tool in a constructivist learning environment. This course subscribes to two fundamental beliefs: (1) that the learner may choose from a rich and varied menu of learning experiences and possibilities; and, (2) that the learner must take responsibility for planning, acting, and growing.
