Course Description
This course introduces students to systematic instructional methods and models for using the Internet effectively in their classrooms. The Internet offers you, as a teacher, professor or trainer, many resources to help you plan, develop and teach lessons. Combined with a systematic instructional design model, you can create lessons that are current, highly motivating, and mentally engaging. You will create web-enhanced lessons and web-based learning objects. The course follows four roles a teacher or training assumes: Internet miner, Internet policy advisor, integrator of existing, and producer of Internet resources. It is important that you put the content in the context of the tasks you already perform. In this way, you are provided you with relevant exercises that you can use immediately in your classroom. While in the class, you will learn many facets of using the Internet. Remember the main focus of the course is examining and reflecting on its pedagogical usefulness to you in the classroom.
