EDTC615

This course will provide an opportunity to develop multidisciplinary units that take advantage of new technologies and the active learning environment of the Meadowlands Environmental Center. The course will provide hands-on experience with computers, digital cameras and software programs in designing multimedia lessons. Students will incorporate a variety of content areas into their coursework through collaboration with classmates and center staff. Each session will include art, language arts, science and social studies content workshops along with discussion and evaluation of software found in most schools. Students will develop project-based lessons and classroom presentations as part of the coursework. Participants do not need to be computer experts to succeed in this class. Although the course material can be adapted to any grade level, this course will focus on materials for K-6 grades.
