In the last decade a number of new technologies have been developed which will dramatically reshape the classroom space. A handful of teachers and educational professionals are beginning to use social media, mobile devices, video games and other innovations to enrich the learning process, but these practices are far from mainstream. This four week online certificate course is designed for classroom teachers and educational professionals alike and aims to provide them with exposure to a variety of tools and platforms that deepen dialogue and enhance curricula for face-to-face learning environments. It will also explore the latest advances in online learning, virtual collaboration, and mobile learning in an effort to chart the future of teaching and education in the years to come. Through a hands-on and interactive pedagogical approach, participants can expect to develop a practical set of strategies and skills that will prepare them to apply new technologies to their work in education amid this rapidly evolving landscape.
