IED 575 - Practicum in Technology in Schools

The practicum course provides students with a clinical experience in technology, moving students from merely reading about ideas to trying them out in practice. A goal of this course is to provide each student with opportunities to make contact with and to implement a broad variety of technology theories, system designs, and successful practices. Coursework will deal with matching specific theories of educational technology to present practice as found both in the literature and in rich professional experiences available among the other course participants. Students will be required to locate a technology-rich work or volunteer educational setting, as well as a mentor from that setting.
