Emerging Genres of Teaching, Learning and Digital Technologies

In this Module I will be examining and exploring how new methodologies of teaching and learning with digital technologies have re-emerged via knowledge representation, knowledge diffusion and embodimen with special consideration given to cognitive and social affordances for math and science.

The objectives for this module are:

1. To analyze visual representations of mathematical and scientific knowledge and assess their cognitive and social affordances for learning math and science.
2. To investigate the social construction and diffusion of knowledge with digital technologies that enhance communication.
3. To explore the implications of learning of math and science just in time and how learning can be enhanced with access to digital resources and specialized tools.
4. To theorize how embodied learning may be facilitated by mobile or virtual reality technologies.
5. To continue to develop a critical awareness of the implications technology has for students, and for teaching practice, curriculum development, and educational contexts, through analyses and discussions of technology-enhanced learning experiences.

There is a lot of new terminology that I will have to learn before I can achieve these objectives!
