Teaching Impacts of Technology in K-12 Education Coursera

Overview

In this Teaching Impacts of Technology in K-12 Education Specialization offered by Coursera in partnership with University of California San Diego you will both learn about the impacts of computing in our world and how to teach these impacts to K-12 students. 

We offer both the technical knowledge and also the pedagogical approaches for teaching these concepts. Along the way you’ll engage with freely available materials you can use in your own classroom, as well as learn from teachers currently teaching these concepts in their classrooms.

Applied Learning Project

• Using a problem-based approach to understanding underlying computing concepts, we’ll travel through five different digital “worlds” in which we engage with technology, exploring the problems posed within that world and the various tech solutions that exist.

• At the end of each world, you will reflect on the effectiveness of your learning process and evaluate lesson plans and materials available for use in your own classroom. 

• Through these activities, you’ll become a more reflective teacher and develop an understanding of how instruction and activities can be designed to support learning. See FAQ for per-course details.
