Title: Welcome
Course: Learning Activities Taxonomies (Elementary)

This short course will help you to explore a curriculum-based instructional planning approach to designing lesson plans that integrate technology in ways that support your students' learning. As you complete eight video-based modules in sequence, you will first explore and change technology-integrated lessons that other teachers have created. Then you will work with one or more taxonomies of types of learning activities in the curriculum area(s) of your choice to design your own lesson plan.

This short course is designed to be used in conjunction with an educational technology or teaching methods course in a teacher education program.  As such, your instructor may modify some of the instructions and/or documents that appear here as you work through the course. Be sure to follow directions carefully to maximize your learning from this experience.

This short course is in active development. We would be grateful for your feedback via a survey that will be accessible at the conclusion of the final module, so that we know how to improve the course. Thanks in advance for this feedback, and best wishes as you explore the LATs approach to planning for your students' technology-supported learning!
