= Welcome to EDCG 610: Technology-Mediated Learning Environments =

Course Description
Central to the use of technology for education is an understanding of the current research about how people learn. Realizing the effective use of technology for learning is also related to becoming familiar with the emerging ways in which youth use technology to engage with their worlds. Participants in the course will draw on these principles to explore connections between learning, youth technology practices, and lesson design. Activities are designed to have teachers become facile with technology while at the same time working through the way in which technology and learning come together in the classroom. We will engage in conversations around new paradigms for learning and technology as reflected in the ISTE standards and 21st century MILE goals.
