Course Designations Courses are generally offered at the 793 and 600 course designations. Individuals

should verify with their certification/licensing boards, school district, or graduate

program advisor to ensure these courses meet their individual needs prior to registering.

793 COURSE DESIGNATION at NDSU is graduate level, degree

eligible, and requires admission to the NDSU Graduate School.

(Note: a $50.00 application fee may apply). These courses

may be used for professional development purposes, for teachers to stay current

of study. Once admitted, students will work with their graduate committee in

developing an appropriate plan of study.

current in their fields, meet recertification needs, and salary advancement goals. Courses

numbered as 600 do not require individuals to be admitted to the NDSU graduate school

and are not eligible for use on graduate programs of study.

NDSU-DCE offers such a wide variety of courses, as well as methods of delivering those courses, that whenever I find a weakness in my teaching, I can count on NDSU-DCE to have the class I need.”

Course Description:

For the past 30 years, conventional wisdom has held that there are few, if any, innate differences between boys and girls in how they learn, think, or interact with one another.

This course will explore the innate differences between boys and girls and will offer a new vision for what gender-friendly education may look like.

Web 2.0: Collaborative InstructionEDUC 600

» 3 CREDITS

» $150 + Course fee


Course Description:

Web-technologies are shaping education in ways that have been only been dreamed about before the advent of Web 2.0. The new web enhances teaching practices and student learning because new tools allow the user to publish and interact in ways never before possible. In Web 2.0, learners become consumers, of information, and need to become critical readers and viewers, ready to hit the edit button, in the new age of literacies. Educators must teach and model methods in which ideas and products can be published on the Internet. Web 2.0 provides the ability to work collaboratively across the virtual environment, enhancing literacies such as communication skills and global awareness which has the effect of bringing down the classroom walls. Participants will explore the tools of Web 2.0 while participating in activities involving some of those which are more widely accepted in educational environment. This course gives participants a choice of which tools are the most applicable to them, and the chance to build project-based learning around these tools. This course demonstrates how Web tools can generate new and exciting learning experiences for students of all abilities and learning styles. The course will offer participants ideas to help them think differently about technology and how it can be used to strengthen students’ critical thinking, writing, reflection, interactive learning and meta-cognition.
