The purpose of this course is to advance pre-service and in-service teachers beyond simple computer literacy and basic understanding of Computer-Based Instructional Technologies. It will focus on more advanced educational use of multimedia and Internet based technologies. The student will explore technologies and learning tools that foster a more learner centered constructivist environment within their specific teaching area. Critical issues arising from the integration of these technologies such as development of interactive environments and new modes of communication and subsequent effects on the definition of learning will also be investigated.
