As a dedicated high school science educator, my passion lies in discovering innovative ways to integrate technology seamlessly into the classroom environment. The Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies course stood out to me as an ideal opportunity to align my professional aspirations with practical learning experiences. By embracing instructional technologies, I believe we can revolutionize the science classroom, shifting from traditional direct instruction to dynamic inquiry-based learning experiences. This evolution empowers students to take ownership of their learning journey, immersing themselves in authentic problem-solving scenarios that mirror real-world challenges. Enrolling in this course represents a pivotal step towards enriching my teaching practices through the strategic incorporation of technology. Furthermore, the knowledge and skills gained from this course will help me guide my colleagues within the Science department at my campus toward the effective selection and implementation of instructional technologies that will enhance the learning experiences of students.
This certificate was earned from the University of Illinois at Champaign-Urbana offered through Coursera upon completion of the Ubiquitous Learning and Instructional Technologies course.
This course provides an in-depth analysis of various technologies used in education. Topics covered include learning management systems, gamification, social media for learning, universal design for learning, and big data analytics. Participants will learn how to select and implement appropriate technologies, design electronic learning resources, incorporate digital media into teaching, and evaluate the benefits of technology in education.
