Currently I work in a school with a LOT of technology at our disposal. My students work from iPads from course sites similar to UTK's Blackboard where I upload assignments and relevant course information. We employ a variety of apps to organize our work, make it more meaningful, as well as attempt to use our technology as a meaningful educational resource. However, I feel I have much to learn in terms of integrating technology more smoothly within all my classes. While I do feel comfortable "diving in" with most technology, my level of familiarity with creating blogs, wikis, websites, is relatively low. These are things we have learned so far, which is very exciting to me. That said, my expectation for the course is to gain basic and practical knowledge of the various resources I can use in my classrooms outside of what I am already doing.
Perfect! In your case I want you to try to use content and activities you are using in your current class and try to figure out how to integrate tools we are learning in 486. We can discuss more in class.
