Thinking About Educational Change: Past, Present, Future

Welcome to Integrating I.T. in the E.S.L./E.F.L. Classroom (ENG 3435)

Today's class is an introduction to the course and a series of introductory activities which will help you think about how educational change happens in the past, present and future.

This will be the background for learning how I.T. in general and various applications in particular can be used to improve English teaching and learning.

We will also discuss the requirements of your first major assignment, the Group Microteaching Assignment.
