Description

The course, Educational Technology, has been divided into four chapters. The first two chapters, Introduction to Educational Technology and Digital Literacy, provide foundational concepts that must be considered to effectively integrate technology into your classroom. The first chapter encompasses the historical significance, key concepts and components, and benefits of educational technology. Focusing on the transformative role of technology in modern education, the chapter discusses advantages and challenges in teaching and learning. The chapter concludes with an activity that guides learners on identifying professional goals. Chapter two gives learners an in-depth review and discussion on the Digital Age. Understanding the impact technology has had on the world, and specifically education, gives teachers the competence and confidence to navigate rapid change. Practical tips for safeguarding online security, distinguishing between reliable and misleading content, and leveraging technology for creative expression converge to shape a holistic understanding of digital literacy. There are twenty-four subject areas in these two chapters, which are sequential and should be completed in the order in which they are presented in the course. After completing these twenty-four areas you should understand the importance of technology in today’s classroom, including the essential task to learn and teach digital literacy skills.
