This cognitive science research serves as a diagnostic lens to evaluate the efficacy of the instructional technologies the class uses over the course of the semester. Prospective teachers will be introduced to techniques and methods through modeling and direct hands on experience in a wide array of technologies. Along the way, students will develop skills for identifying appropriate technologies and making decisions concerning when to integrate technology.
