Course Description

Teaching in today’s cyber world presents many challenges to educators. The most obvious one is how to master and utilize the constantly changing technology that is being developed for use in the classroom. The less obvious, is the impact that the cyber world is having on how students view the world, think about information, connect and communicate with their peers, impact their need for variety and immediate feedback as well as influence their ability to persist through difficult tasks. In this class, we will look at each of those dynamics and the impact they are having on student learning and behavior in the classroom, as well as what teachers can do to maximize learning in their classroom given those dynamics.
