Course Overview
ECHO Essentials instructs teachers and supporting staff how to use the ECHO learning management system. The ECHO LMS allows educators to instruct and support students, as well as assess their learning, online. As a means to model student-centered, project-based learning, PBL strategies will be demonstrated in the instruction of this course. Furthermore, other tech tools and strategies will be implemented as an example to teacher-learners. Administrators and instructional coaches, who serve as teacher and course evaluators, will review products and courses created during this course in order to provide feedback to learners.
