SED 690 Issues in EdTech

From Eduwiki

In the Educational Technology version of SED 690 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.

Technology Reports

In an effort to stay on the cutting edge of educational technology we want to investigate some of the newer (but not necessarily brand new) technologies that are emerging. Here is what we are working on:
