Here you can follow Max as she attempts to:
- Reflect critically on contemporary educational practices and the school curriculum, in the global context.
- She will amaze you with her research on societal and professional expectations of education in an era of rapid change (or at least it will be presented amazingly enough!)
- In collaboration with other students Max will examine the role of emerging technologies and their impacts on the nature of learning and schooling.
- Hopefully she will be able to identify and evaluate a range of multimedia resources, including emerging technologies. She will then integrate them effectively and creatively to produce not only a challenging and rigorous learning experiences but a comprehensive curriculum as well, to implement in her future classrooms.
- To achieve this Max will need to employ ICT to facilitate her learning and decision making all the while providing opportunities for her to be engaged in activities which are self-regulating and cooperative.
- And finally she hopes to Evaluate social and ethical issues associated with responsible, safe and legal use of learning technologies.
This is all a bit daunting for Max, however as a graduate in Digital Design, she feels she has an ace up her sleeve. Have a guise at her work and see how she matches up...
