ED 203 Orientation Spring 2013

2. ED 203 Educational Technologies
Orientation – January 29, 2013
AL 114 The Terrace Room

3. ED 203 – What type of class is this?
• It is an online class …
– We meet face-to-face for orientation
– We then do our activities and discussions online
using Angel as our management system
– We do not meet at any particular time, yet we
“will get connected.”

4. • This class’s main purpose is not to teach about
programs or technology tools …
• It is about using technology as an educational tool
to enhance and extend our classroom curriculum
to support student learning.
• It is about developing a relationship with each
other and learning from each other.
• It is about having an experience with online
learning …

5. First, Let’s Connect with God …
Lord God Heavenly Father
We thank you for this day and we thank you for
sharing Your Son, Our Savior, with each one of us.
Help us to stay anchored in Him and bring You glory
as we serve others who become part of our lives.

6. Bless the learning we experience in this
class and help us to use it as we continue
to prepare to become professional
teachers.
Grant us Lord, through our
involvement in this course, to grow in
our understanding that technology is a
gift from You, and used correctly, can
bring blessings to us and to those we
serve.
In Jesus Name we Pray
Amen

17. Video – Engage Me
• http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZokqjjIy77Y
• As you watch the video think about:
– What must the teachers have used to help them plan
these technology rich lessons that seem to have engaged
their students in learning?
– What must have gone on behind the scenes on the part
of the teacher in order for these students to make the
proclamations they did about their learning?
– Are you ready to make these types of statements and
requests in your classes; maybe even this one?
