Master's Level Digital Writing Practicum 2010/11
The original description
This course will help teachers integrate Web 2.0 tools and multimedia technology into their curriculum to help their students improve their writing skills, gain digital literacy, engage in their own learning processes and experience the benefits of collaborative, shared, personalized learning.
This is a rigorous but tranformational course. Course participants will be set up with a Digital Writing Classroom to use in their school classroom(s) during the year and will use a similar site for this course to see what it's like from a student's perspective. The course is tailored to your needs and curriculum; work in this course is directly applied in your school classroom. Participants receive three graduate credits from St. Michael's College.
The core work of this course will take place online -- in your school classroom and the digitalteachers.net space for the course; participants will learn how to use digital technology in their classrooms, devise their own exercises, write about and assess their work and learn collaboratively online with other participants. Participants will be expected to use their classroom Web site as an integral part of their teaching. Attached is the new syllabus.
THERE WILL BE TWO SECTIONS OF THE PRACTICUM -- ONE IN Winooski AND ONE IN White River Junction.
During the year, five progress trainings/discussions will be held in late afternoon (N: Winooski; S: White River Junction. Date depends on whether you are in the North or South section): September 20(N) or 21(S) (kickoff) 3 – 8 p.m. (food served); October 26(S) or 27(N), January 18(N) or 19(S), March 16(S) or 17(N) and April 18(N) or 25(S) (dates subject to change based on needs of group.)
