Consider 2 and/or 3 credit module options

Given the results of the Poll Everywhere survey (above) and the in-lab Powerpoint details, consider enrolling in EPSY 5221 for 2 credits (3 additional modules, your personalized choice) or 3 credits (all 5 additional modules). Make the associated change in PeopleSoft. In most cases this would be an no additional cost, and likely to strengthen your application for positions in districts with technology-related initiatives.

Upload your target Lesson Plan for Wise Integration to Taskstream

Select a lesson that you have taught or designed. Consider the work you submitted for EdTPA or something you tried in your clinical placement(s). If this lesson already involves some technology, all the better. It can be a lesson that was great, or one that you know needs some modification to become more effective. This will be the “anchor” for you to interrogate all the rest of the content of the EPSY 5221 course materials and lab activities.

Upload your Target Lesson Plan to Taskstream and post your analysis of the lesson with regard to the SAMR and TPACK frameworks.
