0 class meetings left -- not counting this one! A brief message from George: In an Information Age, the only industry is education, the only occupations are student and teacher -- and they are one in the same. As a student, I cannot think of better circumstances than to spend an entire course working with teachers. My admiration for you all grew over our semester together. I am grateful for this opportunity. I know that what I learned from you all exceed what any one of you might have learned from me. This is why I want to be a teacher .. a teacher of teachers. Thanks! |

This course is intended to help educators become as comfortable with "Computers in Education" as they are with books and blackboards. The truth actually is that computers are no longer the issue. Computers just happen to be the first tools that provide easy access to global Information Networks.
Information Networks: The goal is learning -- taking place in a social context where knowledge is created from information with action guided by pedagogy.
