The focus of this course is to improve teaching through technology use. It consists of two parallel strands: effective use of technology in education, and learning issues related to technology use.
CEP811: Adapting Innovative Technology to Education
Instructor: Melissa White | Summer 2010
In this course, participants learn to apply instructional practices and methods to educational problems; to develop individualized media and computer applications for use in a professional setting; and to adapt advanced software options to promote learning.
CEP812: Applying Education Technology to Problems of Practice
Instructor: Carolyn McCarthy | Fall 2010
In this course, students will define, implement, and evaluate technology-based solutions to educational problems and opportunities in school settings.
TE846: (literacy requirement) Accommodating Differences in Literacy Learners
Instructor: Jen Knight | Spring 2011
This course focuses on the developmental processes, instructional practices, and assessment principles that contribute to effective learning of reading and writing. Students learn teaching methods for accommodating the different needs of individual literacy learners.
CEP800: Learning in Schools and Other Settings

This course is intended to give students a deeper understanding of how people learn, inside and outside school. In addition, students will have an opportunity to incorporate technology in their learning, learning as active, socially-mediated construction of knowledge in school, home, community, and work settings. What is learned, how it is taught and learned and what learners bring to the setting.
CEP815: Technology and LeadershipInstructor: Punya Mishra | Summer 2011 East Lansing Cohort
In this course, we examine the complex charge of being responsible for managing relationships between technology, teaching and learning. Professional development strategies, project management, planning evaluation, relationship building, along with the ethical and social implications of technology integration will be examined.
CEP822: Approaches to Educational Research |
Instructor: Punya Mishra | Summer 2011 East Lansing Cohort
In this course, we explore alternative methods of educational research by identifying researchable problems in education and developing a research proposal. We use the applications of descriptive and inferential statistics for analyzing and critiquing published studies.
CEP807: Proseminar in Educational Technology
Instuctor: Matthew Koehler | Fall 2011
In this course, we examine perspectives on educational technology, current theories, research findings, and methods of design and evaluation, in addition to the completion of a professional portfolio.
