Where Have We Come From?

Where Are We Going?

Let’s review the course objectives

To examine and articulate one’s thoughts, ideas, and experiences of

learning and teaching in a digital age

To display an open-minded, proactive, risk-taking disposition toward

technology, its use, and its potential in an inclusive classroom

To acknowledge the changing needs of today’s learners through the

development of strategies that reflect current theory and technologies

To practice the skills involved in self and peer evaluation,

cooperative/collaborative learning, and independent inquiry as a means of

student empowerment

To demonstrate critical, creative, and reflective thinking that contributes to a

dynamic, organic, inquiry-oriented, learning environment
