This document outlines a course on using digital technologies to transform teacher education. It discusses how digital technologies are already embedded in today's world and that learning through experience is preferred. The course covers four modules: social media for education, games and augmented reality in education, technology mediated assessment, and digital disciplines learning. The modules aim to cover commonly used tech, emergent tech, assessment opportunities and challenges, and digital learning across subjects. Learners will engage through self-paced learning, online group sessions, participation in local education groups, developing digital journals, and always-on access to resources through the learning management system.

24. Why these units?
Needed a programme that
covered:
– Commonly used tech (social)
– Emergent tech (Games, AR/VR)
– Assessment
opportunities/challenges
– Digital in all subject areas

25. Why these units?
 Too often tech is considered only
for senior students, studying
science, technology, engineering
and mathematics
 Too rarely are the implementation
issues of technology in education
explored

28. Learn as we should facilitate learning.
 Using tech to access resources, explore environments,
undertake assessment tasks, challenge thinking
 Online readings, video, podcasts, etc
 Encouraged to add to bank of resources as part of
learning exercise
 Higher level thinking encouraged through evaluative
and design-oriented activities

31. How we will engage ?
 Self-paced learning
 Regular online group sessions
with module facilitator
 Engagement with local or
e-chapters of TeachMeet
 Development of own digital
learning journals
 Always-on access to
learning resources
