Candidates will explore how to differentiate instruction using technologies such as internet, wikis, blogs, podcasts, photo sharing, virtual offices, simulation and game-based learning and other emerging technologies. This course explores learning-theory research and its applications for technology-enriched, standards-based units of study.

Participants will learn how technology applications can be used to create learning environments that strengthen problem-solving skills, and encourage communication, collaboration, and reflection.
