EDUT 5138 Power of Screen Time in Classroom

Harness the Power of Screen Time in Your Classroom

Are you concerned about the effects of excessive screen time on your students? This course is here to help! Although research shows many negative effects on students’ brains, even when they follow age-appropriate guidelines, we believe that screen time isn't inherently "good" or "bad": it all depends on how we use it. Learn how to evaluate and set age-appropriate goals for intentional ed tech use with the SAMR framework. Discover ways to transform your students from passive consumers to active creators by utilizing resources that celebrate creativity. Explore ways to increase engagement in the classroom through gamification and activities that incorporate social media. By the end of the course, you will have a wealth of resources and strategies to use screen time in the classroom in fun, engaging, and beneficial ways. Join us as we explore the possibilities of screen time in education!
