**Planning and Developing Instructional Media I - (3 sh)** The class methods and format will include the use of small and large-group discussions, project work, online asynchronous discussions, and reflective journals. The instructor will model engaged learning by serving as facilitator, guide, and co-learner. The students will be engaged learners who are responsible for their own learning, energized by the learning process, and work collaboratively with others in class to accomplish your goals. It is my belief that teachers have far too little time to create, share, and learn together. I would like to use our time together to do just that; create, share, and learn. This course will be highly collaborative, interactive and “green” (paperless). All tools and resources will be electronic. Foundational tools will be introduced for practice and use, and students will be involved determining their method of presentation for the final project.
