This course is designed for students pursuing licensure in elementary and secondary education. Understanding how to effectively use technology in the classroom to facilitate teaching and learning is essential for teachers within all disciplines. In this class, we will investigate use of computer-based technology as a pedagogical tool to improve the teaching and learning process. By exploring productivity tools, educational software, and web-based information, and by developing web quests, newsletters, and other projects, prospective teachers will be able to better promote information literacy in K-12 students.

As part of this course, each teacher will be exposed to various theoretical frameworks which explain how students learn with computer-based technology. Furthermore, prospective teachers will also develop a professional electronic portfolio designed to showcase personal technology and educational skills, and provide a venue for reflection about what constitutes effective teaching.
