ET5043 - Technology Curriculum and Planning

Credits: 3

Using principles, theories, and models of curriculum design, learners build a school wide, standards-based technology curriculum that supports and enhances existing subject and content curriculum. Using the results of a current practices analysis, learners construct a measurable curriculum plan that promotes the integration and application of technology skills into the learning process, demonstrates the ability to differentiate instruction, and supports the needs of a diverse student population. Additionally, learners prepare an implementation timeline and presentation to introduce the curriculum which identify the supportive role of the educational technology leader in helping students to achieve technology standards. Learners also demonstrate understanding of digital equity issues and strategies for resolving differing levels of access to technology resources.
