I will be teaching EDFN 302 this fall, using the new NETS-T (National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers) as a guide. Teaching something for the first time is always an exciting and a daunting prospect for me. I've developed a brainstorm list of topics. One topic that seems like a good start is to compare the new NETS-T 2008 with the 2000 version. Another topic that intrigues me is to use the new NET-S (National Educational Technology Standards for Students) as a design guide for this course.
I am reviewing various links I have on del.ici.us for interesting online games, brainstorming a survey that I want to give the students, and perusing the Internet for sites that model/discuss the new standards. I have not ordered a textbook for the course because I want my students to use the Internet for resources. After I review the ISTE book on the new NETS-T, I may suggest that the students order the book.
I am into an inch-wide, mile-deep learning, I want all the students to learn a new tool. I am thinking that as a group we could learn Scratch or explore Google Earth.... I really want each of them to learn one tool well for instruction and for management. The exploration continues....
