Changing Landscapes Undergraduate programming EDU 210 – Introduction to Educational Technology (core course)
This course examines frameworks, trends, issues and futuristic scenarios on the role of technology in education. Students will gain hands-on experience of using technology, with a special emphasis on strategies for integrating technology into the school curriculum. Through interactive lectures and flexible labs, this course allows students to experience and evaluate a variety of technologies for learning environments. As part of the course, students develop a professional learning network, create and populate an ePortfolio, and work towards establishing how technology fits within their developing teaching philosophy.

Group Discussion: Ensuring that teachers have the attitudes, skills and knowledge for effective use of technology in a student-centred environment requires articulation, collaboration and coherence between the K-12 education system and faculties of education1. What technology-related skills do we expect a newly
graduated teacher to have? 2. How can we support new teachers to use/sustain and
continue to develop skills? What works? 3. What can we do to build coherence between K-12 and
faculties?
