TIE 515 Critical Educational Technology Issues in Historical, Philosophical, and Policy Contexts

In this course, candidates examine social, cultural, political, and economic factors that have historically affected and which currently affect technology integration and access in educational environments. These factors are examined in relation to candidates' personal, professional and social identities as well as their philosophical outlook and experiences. Candidates engage in ongoing discussion of and reflection on roles and responsibilities of educators who construct and implement technology-enriched learning environments, develop resources and plans for supporting their own ongoing professional development, evaluate projects designed to promote cross-cultural awareness, and identify obstacles to effect technology integration in their local contexts. Pre-requisite(s): TIE majors only; non-TIE majors who wish to register for this course must have prior permission of the TIE program coordinator. Co-requisite(s): None. 3 semester hours
