. 112th Street New York, NY 10025 EDUC 525: Integrating Technology into the Curriculum to Support Learning and Inquiry Fall 2007 Course website at http://my.bankstreet.edu Instructor: Andrea Marks, Educational Technologist Ethical Culture Fieldston School Email: dreamarks@gmail.com Course Description Integrating Technology into the Curriculum to Support Learning and Inquiry is an introductory course that examines three questions in order to develop ideas about how to integrate technology into the curriculum in a way that creates access to learning for a range of students. What technologies can support student inquiry? When can technology be meaningfully integrated into curricula? What types of learners can be supported by technology integration choices? The course is structured as a mini-curriculum designed to provide a model of and to engage participants in an authentic, project-based learning experience using both technology and nontechnology tools. Participants will continuously reflect on their experiences in the course as a learner and as a teacher in an effort to answer the anchoring questions. While curriculum development and pedagogy are at the heart of the course, participants will also learn how to: use a scanner; use Adobe PhotoShop to manipulate digital images; use a digital still camera; use a digital video camera; and use PowerPoint to create a multimedia presentation.

Written Assignments: 30% - Each of three written assignments is worth 10 points you will receive an out of 10 score on each assignment with constructive feedback. Final Paper/Project: 40% - You will receive an out of 40 score on your final assignment with constructive feedback. PLEASE NOTE: The PowerPoint that you create with your group in class is NOT the final project for the course and will NOT be graded. It will not figure into your final grade. A Note on Writing Writing is old technology, but it is nonetheless a powerful communication tool. Since the essence of this course is its exploration of various tools and technologies to support student inquiry and learning, the written assignments are intended to give graduate students opportunities to reflect upon their experiences with technology and also to synthesize professional approaches from experts in the field. If written communication is challenging for you, please let me know so that we can make sure that assignments are clear to you, that your development as a writer is supported, and that you are making use of technology tools that may showcase your multiple communication strengths. You are invited to re-write any written assignment, incorporating my feedback, for a new score.
