Explanation:
I currently teach an undergraduate course called Technology for Teachers (ED 110) at a small private university for undergraduate teacher candidates who declared to be education majors but have not officially been accepted into the Division of Education. This mini course will be the online segment of ED 110 to provide the students with the experience of learning online in a mini-course. It is intended for teacher candidates who want to teach the Humanities. I will modify what I currently teach so that it can be done as a distance education course rather than a face to face course.

Course Topic:
Technology Tools for the Humanities

Course Rationale :
This mini course is the online segment of ED 110 – Technology for Teachers, and will provide future teacher candidates who want to teach the humanities (for this course Humanities will include only ELA and Social Studies) with the tools to integrate current technologies in the classroom. Students will become familiar with cloud computing application software, will complete a digital mini-portfolio, participate in an online learning experience, and will create a lesson that integrates the technology tools learned in this mini-course to demonstrate what they learned.

Prerequisite:
Demonstrated ability in basic computer functions and word processing. This course will be provided for students who have declared themselves to be in the school of education but do not necessarily have to be officially accepted into the school of education. No other course in education is necessary although taking other educational courses in precious semesters or concurrently this semester is helpful.
