Tech Tool Fundamentals

Instructor: McKenzie Fuller

Format: Online, Self-Paced

Commitment: 15 hours

Available Credits: 1 semester-level credit

Course Description & Requirements: 

The goal of this course is to introduce teachers to the core instructional technology tools used in the Ontario School District, primarily using modules developed by the tool developers themselves. Our hope is that this gives you the most up-to-date content available. 

Tools in focus include the following:

• Google Workspace for Education

• GoGuardian

• Pear Deck

• Canva

• Wayground

• Blooket

In Modules 1-4, you'll access each platform's training center, complete each self-paced course, and upload the certificates of completion documenting each accomplishment. 

In Module 5, you'll complete 5 shorter courses, or learning paths, and upload one certificate for each of these courses. 

In Module 6, you'll watch a video, review an article, and complete a simple inquiry project (your work here should directly transfer to the final project). 

In Module 7, you'll develop a final portfolio project to show off what you've learned about each tool.
