• Title: Evaluating and Controlling Technology
• College - first / second year, usually
• Learning outcome * investigate issues on the impact and control of computers * critically examine an issue and provide a detailed analysis

• The sequence of activities * Before you start the reading and the assignments, take a few minutes to think about what you already know about the topic - Evaluating and Controlling Technology. Write a sentence or two about this in the I know... discussion. * Read the Study notes for an overview for the topics that will be covered. * Read, view, listen to the selections in the Selected media list. *Choose 1 word from the Keywords list for this module. Find TWO (2) web articles that provide information about the word and how it relates to the course. Rate each article on a scale of 1 to 5. To determine the score, identify 5 characteristics of each article (good and bad). If there are 3 good things and 2 not-so-good things about the article, you give it a rating of 3/5. Do this for both articles you select. Post the word, links to your selected web articles, the article score and the list of good and not-so-good characteristics, and a brief description about your selection for each, to the discussion Evaluating and Controlling Technology keywords.

• An outline of the formative assessment * Follow links provided by 2 other students, review their suggested articles, and write a brief reply to the author for each. * instructor comments, questions, discussion facilitation

Developing Your Research Project

basis for your draft research proposal. . Subject - engineering . Theme - education . Context - k-8 . Topic - program to introduce engineering basics to elementary / middle school . Research questions - teacher needs - lesson plans, professional development, app. can kids do most of "work" with minimal teacher training, disruption, what will teachers use directly, frame into standards / prescribed curriculum. adjunct to existing units as activity alternative?

. Draft hypothesis

ds4oer - OERu

Digital skills for collaborative OER development This is a hands-on course where you will learn and demonstrate your skills in using digital technologies for collaborative OER development culminating in the development of an OER learning sequence.

• Games in education aren't new. Teachers have been using them throughout the history of teaching and learning.What is new is the amazing possibilities that have come about through vast sums being spent on video games as consumer items. As an educator, I'm envious of the time and resources that go into designing, developing and marketing video games. Unfortunately the commercial side has outpaced the educational adoption - there just isn't much interest in spending money on first rate edutainment products. The kids know what is possible, and don't see why education isn't like gaming. I have to admit - they have a point. Now, if we could have that time-on-task and engagement directed to academics...
