EDTEC 700 Section 1: Advanced
Digital Video
2 Saturdays: 10/14 & 10/28. 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Making movies isn't just a fun add on for teachers. It actually can be a tool for engaging a wide spectrum of learners in content learning, enhancing higher level thinking like synthesis, reflection, and application. Learn to create and use media rich presentations as well as develop student activities for using digital video to engage students in content learning in ways other text rich media can't. Learn how to use still images, digital video, sound effects, audio voice dubs, special effects, multi-layered video tracks, and many more easy to use edits to your raw photos and digital artifacts. Schedule # 11141.
EDTEC 700 Section 3: Educational
Podcasting
2 Saturdays: 9/16 & 9/30. 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Podcasting is this year's hot new technology. How can it be used in K-12 and corporate training settings? What tools and formats are appropriate? We'll design, create and disseminate our own podcasts and tell the world our stories. Schedule # 11163
EDTEC 700 Section 2: Making
Your Case: The Art of Oral and Written Communications
2 Saturdays: 9/9 & 9/23. 8:30am to 4:30pm.
Communication is at the heart of educational
technology. Each aspect or element of the process calls for dialogue
with others --- sponsors, clients, key stakeholders, users, funders ...
the list is endless. The goal, of course, is to engage people
in what you're doing and why. In this course, we'll focus in particular
on oral and written communication--emphasizing tone/formality,
organization and structure, level of detail,
word choice, segues and transitions, audience tailoring,
body language, and more. No matter what the "output" (e.g.,
briefing, meeting minutes, or report of findings), you'll come away with
strategies to ensure you get your message across to others.
Schedule # 11152
EDTEC 700 Section 4: 3-D Multi-user
Learning Environments
2 Saturdays: 11/4 & 11/18. 8:30am to 4:30pm.
What could you teach in a virtual 3-D world where the surroundings
and learners can change their appearance at will? We'll look at simulations, role-plays,
cross-cultural exchanges, 3-D WebQuests and more while examining issues of identity
and etiquette. Participants will create a lesson plan, a reflection piece, and a well-dressed
avatar.
