Fully Online - Have you considered designing a makerspace - a creative, DIY center where students can gather to create, invent, and learn- in your classroom, but you are unsure how to get started? Would you like to know how best to structure learning within this makerspace for a particular grade level or subject area? Have you tried to integrate a makerspace and would like to learn more about best practices? Educators will leave this course with the ability to plan and develop a low-cost makerspace to use with students for the design of creative projects to deepen understanding of content though hands-on, self-directed learning.
Second 7 weeks: October 14, 2024 to December 8, 2024
Fully Online - Media education has become a growing priority in today's classroom because of the extent of the media's importance in people's lives. However, many teachers are unaware of the necessity and the techniques for making media literacy an integral part of the K-12 educational experience. On average, children in their middle and high school years spend 6-10 hours a day engaged either actively or passively in some sort of media-related activity. Because students, regardless of their learning style, attend more fully to activities and ideas that they connect with, media is often used to influence them from a very young age. This makes it necessary for teachers to "train" their students to analyze messages and understand the techniques utilized to influence them via a broad range of sound and visual communication technologies so they can function in the 21st century.
