The grant proposal was based on implementing Robot in Higher Education. The goal of this project is to develop a proposal for a specific application of technology in an educational setting. My proposal was based on using Lego Mindstorms EV3 Robots in classrooms.

 

 

The task is to concisely discuss and develop the relevant literature about the selected technology (e.g. Robot), issues, advantages, disadvantages, or trends in the field of educational technology. 

 

 

 

EDTC 804 - Global Issues in Educational Technology Leadership

(Summer I 2017 -  Dr. Shamburg)

This course investigates educational technology from a global perspective.  Some of the issues covered were development strategies, diversity, cultural values, and the systematic role of educational technology play in global economic growth. The course focuses on a cross-cultural examination of contemporary education and organization skills.

The purpose is to develop a plan for an escape room. The escape room was called BAACE Mathematics Escape Room for players who want to challenge themselves in Mathematical Word Problems, Puzzles, and Riddles.

 

The purpose is to use a district technology plan as a basis for your decision, develop an advisory guide for applying the technological design principles of Bers (2012).    Highlight areas in which the technology plan correlates, contrasts, or could be extended with Bers’ concept of “Digital Technology for Positive Youth Development”.  This was a group project and the members are Aminata Adewumi, Manuel Negron, and Emily Vandalovsky.

 

This is a group project with the following members, Aminata Adewumi, Manuel Negron, and Emily Vandalovsky.  The members will develop a “Field Manual for Blended Learning”.   Our main focus was on teachers' communication and feedback.
