Technology+Survey,+Spring+2011

=Welcome Back!=

We hope you enjoyed your winter break. Now it's time to get ready for an exciting Winter/Spring Semester as we advance our content knowledge and skills base in the course E25.1144, Integrating Curricula in Children's Literature, Arts and Technology. We have designed the Course with these goals in mind: 1) Develop an understanding and awareness of various technologies to integrate into the classroom/curriculum; 2) Continuing to examine and implement social justice approaches to teaching; 3) To explore, identify and integrate appropriate children's literature that include/address themes of multicultural education and social justice work; 4) To develop an ability to approach and use art in the classroom as forms of expressions and social change; 5) To appreciate local history and place-based learning, and recognize the impact of its implementation in project-based learning curriculum design. The core of our study is an examination of Brooklyn in all its many forms.

To help your instructors establish a baseline for our instruction, we have developed a short survey that we hope you'll be able to complete by our second session which is Wednesday, 2 February. You can take the survey online by going to this link: [|http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/V233W67.]
