**EDTC 600** ** Pedagogical Practices in Instructional Technology ** 

**Entire Course Doc** Introduction to pedagogy and instructional technology. Focuses on learning theories and methods, appropriate technologies, technology standards, universal design, and digital equity. The course will introduce students to the final capstone project and its requirements.
 * __Course Description__**

__**Notes**__ EDTC 600 – the philosophy paper in this course should require that students integrate research and theory. At the end of the program in the EDTC 610 capstone course students are asked to revisit the 600 philosophy paper. So requiring integration of research and theory in the first course will help provide students with something to build on in the final course. The 610 philosophy rubric is attached so that you can review the expectations for the final capstone philosophy paper relative to research and APA expectations.

This is the first course.
 * __Course Prerequisites__**

The students will become the visionary leaders of their schools with the passion and commitment to be the keepers and creators of technology instruction.
 * __Enduring Understandings__**

This course provides a study of the pedagogical practices that are necessary for effective technology integration into instruction. There will be emphasis on incorporating effective uses of technology with successful teaching methods and required standards to create appropriate and effective lessons for student learning. Students will examine the Instructional Technology profession and review the requirements of the Masters in Instructional Technology degree program. Students will also be introduced to the requirements for graduate level research and writing. Field experience, the observational/participatory time spent in the real-world school/child services setting, is an integral part of this and all subsequent courses.
