Jump to: navigation, search

In the Educational Technology version of SED 600 we have dual goals of learning to conduct education research and learning about the literature on technology in education. We will start with a review of the key ideas in education (constructivism, transfer, zone of proximal development) and then look at how technology related to them. We will conduct a short experiment and then prepare research or development project proposals.
