In-service Course Description:
During this course, you will learn and apply strategies for integrating
technology. Four technology assignments will be posted on dates identified
in the course syllabus. An integrated technology/teaching strategy will be
introduced along with an example of its use for health and physical education.
Each technology lesson will state the due date for you to post your reflection
on the course discussion board in the section identified for your school.
This portion of the course is not to be a group effort. Each individual
enrolled in the course is to individually complete assignments. Course
attendance will be taken from these weekly postings. Later in the course,
a small group activity will include the creation and posting of a web quest.

You are required to develop your own field-based application of each strategy
and "try it out" with three or more of your students. Following your field-based
application, you are to post your reflection on how you applied the strategy
(describe your strategy and discuss what went well, and what you would change).
Post your comments in the sub-section for your school identified for teacher 
comments from your school. You are encouraged to read other teachers' reflections.

You are also to have the students who participated in each field-based application
post a reflection on the discussion board in the section marked for your school
in the area marked "student reflection". The student reflection will describe what
the students liked best about the application and how the strategy helped them to
learn. Your students are encouraged to read student reflections from the other schools.

The six strands of the Georgia Quality Core Curriculum for Technology Integration,
the National Education Technology Standards, and the International Standards for Technology Education guide each of the on-line applied strategies and individual
reflections specific to field application.
