EPC 512 21st Century Teaching and Learning with
Technology<http://usm.maine.edu/pdc/epc-512-21st-century-teaching-and-learning-technology>In
our technology-driven, globally diverse world, students are consuming
and producing many forms of electronic media. How do we develop teaching
strategies for the 21st Century classroom given changing ideas about
literacy? This course is designed for K-12 educators looking to integrate
an array of current digital technology skills with core academic subjects.
The state of Maine has joined the National Partnership for 21st Century
Skills (see http://www.21stcenturyskills.org) and advocates the infusion of
these skills into K-12 learning.
