M.Ed on Education and Innovation: EDUCMI03 - Technology Integration into Teaching and Learning

COURSE DESCRIPTION

This course is designed for teachers interested in developing innovative ways of integrating technology into classroom practice in order to support 21st-century learning. In this course, students will develop advanced, practical knowledge and skills for integrating a wide range of technology including emerging technologies, principles and frameworks to support innovation in classroom pedagogy and assessment in educational contexts. Students will be introduced to theoretical and practical frameworks underpinning effective technology integration in classroom lessons. Students will have the opportunity to research and critically analyse and evaluate innovations in classroom technology use through the application of different tools in different teaching and learning scenarios.

In addition, students will research and critically evaluate innovations in the use of educational technology tools to effectively support equitable learning practices in different learning contexts. Finally, students will develop and apply highly specialized knowledge and skills necessary for planning and implementing innovations in the use of digital technologies in educational contexts of teaching and learning.
