Endicott College IED 575 Practicum in Technology in Schools:
Course Description:
The practicum course provides
students with a clinical experience in technology, moving students from merely
reading about ideas to trying them out in practice. A goal of this course is to provide each
student with opportunities to make contact with and to implement a broad
variety of technology theories, system designs, and successful practices. Coursework will deal with matching specific
theories of educational technology to present practice as found both in the literature
and in rich professional experiences available among the other course
participants. Students will be required
to locate a technology-rich work or volunteer educational setting, as well as a
mentor from that setting.
Course Objectives:
Objective 1 Students will interact within a school with a
technology management staff (network manager, technicians, etc.).
Objective 2 Students will interact within a school with the
teaching faculty responsible for teaching technology as a subject.
Objective 3 Students will interact within a school with the
teaching faculty responsible for the curricular areas such as science, math,
social studies, language arts, etc.
Objective 4 Students will interact within a school with the
school’s management team.
Objective 5 Students will interact within a school with the
school population and other technology-using audiences appropriate to the
particular context.
