Course Description

Are you ready to explore web-based tools to ignite student engagement in your K-12 classroom? We will examine a series of web tools and learn the basics for integrating them into the classroom. Each week we will explore an instructional method utilizing an emerging technology tool (i.e., presentations, posters, binders, stories, and scavenger hunts), and investigate uses and good practices for both teacher-led and student driven activities.

You will be introduced to free web-based tools like Prezi, Animoto, Glogster, and many more. To participate, you will need a computer with Internet, the permissions to install a java plug-in and Adobe Flash Player. You will need to be willing to create several free accounts with the web-based tool providers.
