Technology Professional Development Tutorials
Students in my Introduction to Educational Technology course created professional development tutorials for their final course assessment. This project is an opportunity for students to showcase their skills and be able to finish the course with something that has continued usefulness in the future. They submitted some great products using various modes of presentation. These projects are both informative and relevant. They are also great to show potential employers to showcase their talents.
The description provided for the assignment was:
Students will create a professional development resource relating to a technology tool of their choosing. Alternatively, students can also create a professional development resource that uses multiple tools to address a specific skill covered in this course. The product should be organized so the various tools work together toward a common goal rather than be just a collection of tools.
