- Designing Learning with Technology - This is a hands-on, learner centered course that will introduce educators to the logic of a backward design approach to curriculum planning, assessment, and
instruction. Focus will be directed to criteria selection in matters of understanding; design standards for quality control; and misconceptions and misunderstandings
toward integrating technology into the classroom. McTighe's and Wiggins', Understanding by Design approach will provide the framework for the exploration of
the six facets of understanding and will serve as a guide through the three stages of the backward design process. Educators will locate, access, retrieve, evaluate,
and archive information pertaining to their school's MSDE assessment scores, state content standards, and performance assessment tasks. Emphasis will be placed
on building skills and confidence in participants abilities to determine the best tools and methods to locate and present information, and to develop the ability to
evaluate information, investigate the various resources available to researchers and educators, and present their findings in intellectual and practical settings through
the backward design approach.
