course description:
This is a flexible format
workshop/lab designed to familiarize you with the integration of
technology into the EC-8 classroom (both CUIN 3122 and CUIN 3112) for a variety of teaching
responsibilities and learning tasks. The course is aligned to both
national (ISTE NETS
for Teachers) and state (Texas
Technology Applications for All Beginning Teachers) standards
for teacher technology proficiency. Integral to the course are
discussions of how technology is embodied within the College of
Education's conceptual framework, as students investigate ways to
use technology for Collaboration among their colleagues, for
engaged Learning by their students and themselves, and in
multiple ways of Leading in their classroom and in their
profession. The technology competencies satisfied through this
course will become an integral part of the Quest 2 portfolio.
By the end of CUIN 3122/3112,
each teacher education student will be able to demonstrate that
he/she
can apply appropriate technology tools for enhancing his/her own
professional learning and productivity. The course is directly tied
to the content methods courses as part of Quest 2, and learning for
the course is situated in the EC-8 classroom context. Students are
required to design learning activities for the classrooms in which
they are placed. They will use technology in communicating,
collaborating, conducting research, and solving problems. In
addition, they will plan, lead, and participate in activities that
encourage lifelong learning and will promote equitable, ethical, and
legal use of computer/technology. To ensure that diverse student
preferences for learning and expression are honored, a variety of
learning modes will be utilized, including online multimedia
presentations, web-based resources, and face-to-face support.
Students in CUIN 3122/3112 will continually assess their own growth in
multiple ways as they seek to create coherent representations of
knowledge, linking new information with existing understandings in
the content area through the creation of a comprehensive online
portfolio.

University of Houston guidelines:
incomplete
grades
Often, students enter a course thinking that they can take an
"incomplete" if they decide they will not complete the course
requirements on time. Keep in mind the University of Houston guidelines
regarding an incomplete grade state:" The grade of "I" is a conditional,
temporary grade given when the student is passing a course but, for
reasons beyond his or her control, has not completed a relatively small
part of his or her requirements." A more complete description of these
guidelines can be found at the back of each semester's class schedule
booklet. Please remember that after a year, an incomplete in a course
automatically becomes an "F." If you have any questions, please contact
me for more information.
academic
dishonesty
The University of Houston defines academic dishonesty as "Employing a
method or technique or engaging in conduct in an academic endeavor that
the student knows or should know is not permitted by the university or a
course instructor to fulfill academic requirements." (Student Handbook,
p. 8). Students are expected to do original work. Penalties include
failure of the entire assignment and referral to the department chair
for consideration of additional action, which may include failure of the
course and suspension from the university. Please refer to the
University of Houston Student Handbook for further information.
student
accommodations
When possible, and in accordance with 504/ADA
guidelines, we will attempt to provide reasonable academic
accommodations to students who request and require them. Please
call ext. 3-5400 for more assistance.
