COURSE OUTLINE

The focus of this course will be on the contexts in which information communication technology (ICT) is used in the classroom, and the selection and application of ICT tools and resources appropriate for Early and Middle Years curricula. Topics to be explored include the structure and contents of the MECY document “A Continuum Model for Literacy with ICT Across the Curriculum”, infusion of technology into lesson planning, instruction and assessment, research and inquiry using ICT tools and electronic sources, and uses of interactive white board technologies, “web 2.0” technologies, and digital devices. The course will also focus on how ICT complements and impacts pedagogy in Early and Middle Years settings.
