Abstract

The educational technology course required of all teacher education majors at our institution has been a source of problems due to inconsistency in course content, and outdated and inappropriate course content. Some of these problems stemmed from the course residing in two departments as well as too many instructors teaching the course without communication among them. Over the past one and a half years, the course has undergone a considerable redesign with the assistance of administration, instructors and members of the K-12 community. This poster presentation describes the issues and challenges faced in changing this course content and present our solutions to these problems. In addition, a timeline is presented displaying the course content at various stages over the years. Lastly, a syllabus is provided of the new course.
