21 Things for the 21st Century Educator –
an Online-Blended Learning Opportunity
The purpose of this course is to provide ”Just in Time” training through an online interface for K-12 educators based on the National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T). These standards represent the basic technology skills every educator should possess. Check out the teaching site materials at: http://21things.weebly.com. 21 Things includes: Digital Storytelling, Podcasting, Research, Assessment, and much more.
This opportunity requires you to attend an initial 2-hour in-person session. All the rest of the course is at your own pace. There will be virtual class sessions offered online through Adobe Connect (http://remc.na3.acrobat.com/twenty1things/) and the recordings of the sessions will be posted on the 21things web site.
Participants completing all the requirements and assignments may earn up to 63 professional development hours, 12 SBC-EU credits or graduate credit from one of the participating Universities. To learn more about the session, the 21things log on to http://21things.weebly.com and look under the tab “The 21 Things”. We hope you take advantage of this unique opportunity. If you have questions email either Frank Miracola at: fmiracola@misd.net or Dr. Jennifer Parker-Moore at: jpmoore@misd.net.
Virtual sessions will be held which will be 1 hour in length. These will be offered online and the participant is expected to either attend online, or watch the recorded session afterward as part of the learning process. The remainder of the program hours are done by the participant on their own time. You will be required to maintain a log of your hours and produce a portfolio of completed assignments to be submitted by April 28th. Only prerequisite is to actively use email with the ability to attach a file and know how to surf the web.
