CSC 155 Computers and Instructional Technology I
This course enables the student educator to design and evaluate digital tools for various learning environments based on proven cognitive science illuminating how the brain processes and integrates new learning. Students will become familiar with pedagogical practices grounded in frameworks such as TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) and SAMR (Substitution, Augmentation, Modification, and Redefinition) and aligned with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) educator standards, the Ohio Standards for the Teaching Profession (OSTP), and the Specialized Professional Associations (SPA) standards for their area of licensure. Future educators will design technology-enhanced instruction appropriate to a variety of learners’ needs and connect their practice to a Catholic understanding of the important role of teachers in society. Finally, students seeking admission to the education program will begin the development of a personal e-Portfolio to which they will add digital artifacts as they progress through the program demonstrating their proficiency in content knowledge; classroom environments; planning, instruction and assessment; professional responsibility, technology, and diversity (meeting the distinct learning needs of P-12 students). This course is for those seeking teacher licensure.
