this amazing opportunity?

Who Are You?
It’s All About Math
(Two) GoalsThe hybrid summer cohort has two
goals:
the easy goal: learn about technology. Some students may already know a lot about technology and some may know less, but learning how to use the technology is the easy goal.
the difficult goal: figuring out what to do with the knowledge of specific technologies to help students learn and develop professionally.
(Three) Courses
You will participate in an integrated seminar that offers all three Certificate Courses:
• CEP 810: Teaching for Understanding with Technology
• CEP 811: Adapting Innovative Technologies to Education
• CEP 812: Applying Educational Technology to Issues of Practice
(Nine) Credits
You will earn 9 credits!
The Certificate is one of the “on ramps” to the MAET program. These 9 graduate level credits will seamlessly transfer into the MAET program once you have applied and are fully accepted into the program.
(Six) WeeksThis will be an intense 6-week
seminar, in a 2-4 model.
The first two weeks will be face-to-face here on campus.
The last four weeks are online.
On July 29, 2011 students will reconvene on campus one final time to share and celebrate all that they’ve learned.

You Know the Saying…One size…
does NOT fit all……especially in teaching.

And, you undoubtedly got the wrong TV, silly head!
A Vision of Students
We are “preparing” students for jobs:that don’t exist yet.
that use technologies that have not been invented.
that will solve problems we don’t even know about.
Creativity Can Help!
But, what is it?
Creativity (and creative teaching) cannot be taught……
How?
Creativity (and creative teaching) cannot be taught…
but it can be developed!

So….let’s get started!
Our Awareness Controls Human Destiny An essay written in 1953 for the original This I Believe series.
Your First Task.Today -- the first day of your our time
together -- we’re going to ask you to think about (and share) your beliefs about teaching, about technology and how the two come together (now, or in the future under your leadership) in your school. Having thought about Mead’s words and having a little context for our focus on beliefs, we want you to create a digital story.
In the next hour, we’d like you to go anywhere on campus -- explore it. As you explore, we’d like you to take 10-12 images and record 5-7 thoughts to go along with your pictures. Then, using Animoto or OurStory (iPad App), we’d like you to create a story that tells us a little bit about what you believe about teaching, technology and teaching with technology. Upload your pictures and your audio and come back ready to share after lunch!
