GO!!
Who are we?




                               Craig McMichael,
                               MA
Jodi Spicer, MA




           Alison Keller, MA
The hybrid summer cohort has two
 goals:
 the easy goal: learn about
  technology. Some students may
  already know a lot about technology
  and some may know less, but
  learning how to use the technology is
  the easy goal.
 the difficult goal: figuring out what to
  do with the knowledge of specific
  technologies to help students learn
  and develop professionally.
You will participate in an integrated
 seminar that offers all three
 Certificate Courses:

• CEP 810: Teaching for
  Understanding with Technology

• CEP 811: Adapting Innovative
  Technologies to Education

• CEP 812: Applying Educational
  Technology to Issues of Practice
You will earn 9 credits!

The Certificate is one of the “on
 ramps” to the MAET program.
 These 9 graduate level credits
 will seamlessly transfer into the
 MAET program once you have
 applied and are fully accepted
 into the program.
 This will be an intense 6-week
  seminar, in a 2-4 model.
 The first two weeks will be
  face-to-face here on campus.
 The last four weeks are online.
 On July 27, 2012 students will
  reconvene on campus one final
  time to share and celebrate all
  that they’ve learned.
 QuickFires
 Lessons and Activities
 TechLabs
 Readings, Writings, Listenings
 Blogs, Tweets, and “Socializing”
 Risks, Rewards, Collaborations, Creative
  and Intellectual Challenges, Growth and
  Success
Our Awareness
Controls Human
Destiny
An essay written in 1953 for

Editor's Notes

  1. This example will ground our thinking for today about beliefs, but also ground our thinking for our entire experience together. It is not a statement about technology; it is a statement about human beings and, we think this is really where we must begin because, of course, we teach human beings. Every day, children come to our schools, to our classrooms, to us and through their experiences in our presence, they change. Mead’s words are important and thoughtful and they remind us that learning is grounded in culture; it is situated -- and who we become, though we are genetically all nearly identical, is absolutely shaped by the situations we find ourselves in. And, the final, culminating assignment for this set of three courses that we’re beginning today will be your very own “This I believe...” statement! So we share Margaret Mead’s example with you. Of course, you should take the time to explore, and be inspired by others:
