Estimated
Time Requirements for Learners
These sections will last 3 weeks
in a developed course entitled ETEC 424 Integrating Technology into Curriculum
that is a semester in length.
Instructional
Media
Students will need to have
internet access. Web browsers such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer will
be necessary to utilize eCollege through MyLeo as a registered student at Texas
A & M University-Commerce.
Students will conduct research of THREE (3)
peer reviewed journal articles related to technology integration in the K-12
classroom by using the library databases and providing a critique of each article via
the CRAAP Test. The Journal Article Critiques are to be part of student’s final
ePortfolio.
Research and prepare a position-- Each student
develops the position assigned, learns relevant information about it, and plans
how to present the best case possible.
Apply the CRAAP Test, based on an acronym for the following
criteria to evaluate every source of information: Currency, Relevance,
Authority, Accuracy, and Purpose. (a link is provided as an example of how to
utilize this test. Source used is from Dr. Mary Joanne Dondlinger's Prezi she
developed for a previous class). http://prezi.com/nxhwd1tvcvzi/craap-test/?utm_campaign=share&utm_medium=copy
To help students with ideas for research articles I will provide
a link to LibGuides that has a great source of media formats for researching
articles. http://libguides.csuchico.edu/indexnew
To help students remain focused and creative they can formulate
an outline for written documents that will help them associate comments and
ideas with each chapter. There is a design for citing sources by linking
websites, text files, and etc. The link for this site incorporates Educational
Mind Mapping Software at: http://www.matchware.com/education/mindview.htm
Student Learning Objectives:
Learning outcomes are
what you are able to do as a result of the activities, readings, instruction,
etc. that have taken place in this course - these are my expectations of you!
1. The learner will be an
active and engaged team member within his/her learning community by analyzing,
constructing/creating, and evaluating information presented within the
textbook, external readings/resources, student research, and class activities
in order to contribute to and develop a research proposal.
2. The learner will
compare and contrast different research designs and distinguish
quantitative and qualitative
methods.
3. The learner will
prepare and execute steps in the process of research in the form of 2
projects.
4. The learner will identify
and select research articles.
5. The learner will
collect and analyze relevant empirically based research and write
a Journal Article /Abstract Critique and an Emerging Technologies Project.
· 6. The learner will develop the purpose and
research questions to address the projects.
· 7. The learner will properly format and
cite research via the APA 6th edition publication style.
8. The learner will
participate in discussions with group members providing constructive and
thoughtful feedback to the construction and development of their projects.
