D. Office: ED Building Rm 227 Office Phone: 910-962-7670 E-Mail: Through Course web site or [email protected] Course web site – http://learn.uncw.edu COURSE OVERVIEW This course is designed to provide K to 12 pre- and in-service teachers, computer resource teachers, and instructional technology coordinators the knowledge and skills on how to apply computer and information technologies to educational environments and how to integrate these technologies into teaching and learning. It is important to note that the emphasis of this course is on how to design learning environments and learning experience using computer and information technologies rather than on how to operate computer hardware and software. In this class, students will locate, evaluate, and select educational resources; design technology-supported learning environments; use computer productivity tools to plan and develop technology-enhanced learning materials and activities; and create a technology resource kit and electronic portfolio. Students will also make informed decision when encountered social, ethical, legal, and human issues while applying technology to teaching and learning. This course will use Blackboard Learning System, a web-based online learning management system, to provide students an interactive online learning environment and experiences and to manage their learning activities. Students who registered for this class should have prior experience in working with computers and the Internet. They also must have regular access to these technologies in order to participate in the class activities. Students who registered for the course will receive the instruction on how to get started with the course as well as get access to Blackboard from the instructor when the class begins. This course will be fully online. We will use Wimba as our synchronous learning tool of choice.Course Goals 1.

You are encouraged to answer other participants questions, correctly answering another participants question before I do can result in your receiving extra credit points per instructor discretion.. •Online Office Hours: Please contact to set up a specific office meeting. I am in the office most every day Monday through Friday, but it is easiest to catch me when I know you are coming and we have a meeting. Attendance/Class Participation: 1. Your active participation in this class is crucial to its success. Therefore, active participation is required of all participants. Because of its interactive, group nature, I depend on you to build and shape the course. Active participation includes, but is not limited to: • Logging into the course on a regular basis • Checking course email and announcements regularly • Asking questions in a timely manner (not the night before the assignment is due.) • Turning in assignments on time • Attending all Wimba synchronous sessions. • Checking the Questions and Answer section of our discussion board on a regular basis. • Not waiting until 11pm on the night the assignment is due to begin reading! Remember I can monitor your activity while in the course. Course participants who are not displaying active participation will need to have a conference with the professor in order to determine their standing in the course. 2. Assignments must be completed on time. Assignments submitted after the due date will result in a lower grade or may not be accepted at all per instructor's discretion. Technology/Web Access: This course is designed as a fully online class. The class web site, located in blackboard is yoursole link to all content and assignments for the course. You are expected to check the web page on a regular basis for updated information. You have access to the course at http://learn.uncw.edu You are responsible for having for an internet service provider (ISP) that offers a stable and non-interrupted connection into our course website, and for having computer access that is stable and easily obtained. I also ask that you have a backup plan. What will you do when your computer or internet is not working and a synchronous class is about to start, or the paper is due at midnight. For
