In this course, we will focus on actively participating in projects that model effective technology integration, researching and developing classroom lessons and activities that utilize emerging technologies, and using technology to support professional development activities. 1. Given certain goals and limitations, analyze the strengths and weaknesses of various technologies to make appropriate selections for instructional purposes. Make good technology integration decisions and being able to explain reasons behind decision. 2. Design uses of various emerging digital technologies to create instructional activities for future K-12 students. 3. Document and reflect on their professional growth through an ePortfolio (Recognize individual needs for meeting the NETS-T standards - development depends on initial skills) 4. Utilize technology to learn (Use technology to pursue life-long learning, how to learn about new technology, and awareness of building professional resources and how to organize these using technology) 5.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Increase personal software/hardware technology skills. 6.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Share knowledge and collaborate with fellow teachers. 7.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Learn about technology integration management and teaching methods from lab/lecture modeling. 8.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Start to develop individual teaching philosophy and what this means to future K-12 students. 9.<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman"; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; font-size: 7pt; line-height: normal; font-size-adjust: none; font-stretch: normal;"> Develop positive attitude toward technology and acknowledge technology can be used in all subject areas.

Failure to hand in an assignment on the due date without a valid excuse will result in a zero. // Incompletes: // In addition, an "I" incomplete grade will be given only under the conditions spelled out in the Academic Guide: “The grade of Incomplete may be given 1) only when the completed work for the course is of passing quality, and 2) only upon showing of such hardship to a student as would render it unjust to hold the student to the normal time limits. A student's desire to avoid a low grade is not a legitimate reason to award an incomplete.” // Withdraw: // The option to "W" Withdraw from the course in the beginning or middle of the semester should be considered if you cannot manage the number of courses taken in a given semester. Withdrawing from a course could ensure avoiding an F in your official transcript. "W" grades will not be granted after the official school deadline has passed. // Attendance policy: // As a developing teacher professional, your attendance is important to your own development and the K-12 students depending on you. Participation is very important in this course and when you are not in class, you are unable to contribute your unique views to our classroom and your colleagues miss out on learning from you. In addition, punctuality is an important part of being a professional teacher and you are also expected to be punctual to class. It is very important that you attend and are punctual to ALL lab sessions.

Unexcused absences will result in a zero for the assignment due that day. You are responsible for the material that was presented on that day.

Excused absences must be arranged before a planned absence. If you have special circumstances surrounding your absence, discuss these with the instructor as soon as possible, preferably before the absence. Any absences should be discussed with the instructor ahead of time and you are expected to provide a note regarding the absence. For example, if you were sick, you must provide an official doctor’s note.

Any religious holidays should be communicated to both the lecture and lab instructor at the beginning of the semester. Certain religions may have holidays on days when class is scheduled. If this applies to you, please provide a statement from a person of authority at your place of worship (on official letterhead) the dates of the holidays, and the address and phone number of the place of worship. This statement must be given to the instructor no later than the end of the second week of instruction.

If you are an Indiana University athlete or are a part of the band, please have your director write a statement listing the dates of events that will result in your having to miss class, and their phone number on official letterhead. This statement should be given to the instructor by the end of the second week of instruction. A variety of teaching methods are used in this class. They include, but are not limited to: lecture, discussion, demonstration (by the instructor and by students), and individual/group project work. Each student is expected to spend additional time outside of the required class time to complete projects. Students are asked to complete the department course/instructor evaluation instrument. They are asked to provide written comments regarding what they perceived to be the strengths and weaknesses of the course. Evaluations are anonymous and are submitted to the departmental secretary for coding and tabulation. Results of the evaluation are used to update the content and emphases of the course as contemporary research suggests.  8/31 ||  Shift Happens || Introductions || Syllabus Review

//Grading:// Each professional development plan is worth 30 points. A rubric describing the requirements and grading procedures will be posted in OnCourse. // Description: // During the second unit, students will be required to develop an artifact proposal. The artifact proposals should be finished for homework and submitted at the beginning of the next lab session. Students should use TTL and lab time to consult with the lab instructors. Many of the proposals will require students to learn a new technology tool through online tutorials. More information will be given on artifact proposals during each unit 2 lab session. Students will need to eventually create these artifacts and will need to be included in the electronic portfolio as evidence of technology abilities.
 * Artifact Proposal **

//Grading:// There are 3 individual artifact proposals worth a maximum of 25 points for a total of 75 points. A rubric describing the requirements and grading procedures will be provided on OnCourse. A podcast on how to approach the proposals is also available on iTunes within OnCourse. // Description: // During the third unit, students will be required to develop the artifacts proposed in unit two. The artifacts may require K-12 student samples, tutorials, and/or lesson plans. Students will have comments on their proposals from the lab instructor on what should be constructed for the case artifact.
 * Case Artifacts **

//Grading:// There are 3 case artifacts worth 30 points each, totaling 90 points. A rubric describing the requirements and grading procedures will be provided in OnCourse.  An ePortfolio in the form of a website will be used to document your progress towards meeting the International Society for Technology in Education's (ISTE) published National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T) and the Indiana Department of Education's Division of Professional Standards for your specific content area.
