Course Content (Syllabus)
Module Aim: The theoretical examination and practical understanding of issues related to the pedagogical use of traditional and modern educational technologies and the systematic investigation of the processes entailed in the design, creation, use, evaluation and management of various teaching media and learning resources. Learning Objectives: Within the duration of the course, students will hopefully:  Investigate the multi-dimensional role of Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) in the Primary school curriculum.  Develop awareness of the multi-faceted educational technologies and software applications available for school use and examine the processes and practicalities of using ICTs in the teaching and learning of various curriculum subjects.  Approach in theoretical and practical terms the teaching and learning opportunities of using the Internet and Web 2.0 technologies in education. Module Content: The content of this module is developed around four main thematic areas which may be analyzed as follows: The pedagogical use of educational technologies in teaching practice: Issues of design, selection and use of teaching media and learning materials.  Integrating ICT in the process of teaching  Types and taxonomies of educational technologies, media and materials with an emphasis on educational software  Characteristics, advantages and limitations of educational technologies, media, and materials.  Criteria of selecting educational technologies, media, and materials for use in the classroom.  Lab activities Teaching and Learning through ICT tools – Social Sciences and Humanities  The use of ICT in teaching and learning Language arts and History  Educational Software for Language Arts and History  Lab activities concerned with the development of educational materials Teaching and Learning through ICT tools – Mathematics and Natural Sciences  The use of ICT in teaching and learning Mathematics, Natural and Environmental Sciences  Educational Software for Mathematics and Natural Sciences  Lab activities concerned with the development of educational materials The use of the Internet in Education  Educational materials, tools and software on the World Wide Web – Web 2.0 technologies and services  Issues of evaluating online educational materials and websites  Communication through the Internet  Learning by Distance  Lab activities concerned with the development of online educational materials Organization and methodology: The module is consisted of four main thematic areas, each of which has a duration of 10-13 hours.
