Orientation – January 28, 2014
AL 114 The Terrace Room
Sections: ED 203 0 (30428-201430)

First, Let’s Connect with God’s Word
8 For it is by grace you have been saved,
through faith—and this is not from yourselves,
it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no
one can boast. 10 For we are God’s
handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good
works, which God prepared in advance for us
to do. Ephesians 2:8-10
Please Pray With Me …
Lord God Heavenly Father
We thank you for this day and we thank you
for sharing Your Son, Our Savior, with each
one of us.
Help us to stay anchored in Him and bring
You glory as we serve others who become part
of our lives.
Bless the learning we experience in this
class and help us to use it as we continue
to prepare to become professional
teachers.
Grant us Lord, through our involvement
in this course, to grow in our
understanding that technology is a gift
from You, and used correctly, can bring
blessings to us and to those we serve.
In Jesus Name we Pray
Amen
ED 203 – What type of class is this?• It is an online class …
• We meet face-to-face for
orientation
• We then do our activities and
discussions online using Angel as
our management system
• We do not meet at any
particular time, yet we “will be
connected.”
• This class’s main purpose is not to
teach about programs or technology
tools …
• It is about using technology as an
educational tool to enhance and
extend our classroom curriculum to
support student learning.
• It is about developing a relationship
with each other and learning from
each other.
• It’s about becoming a
facilitator of Learning
• Perhaps, it could be about
becoming a Teacher Leader
(Teacherpreneur – Barnett
Berry – Teaching 2030)
• It is about having an
experience with online
learning …
• Why?
Technology
is a
given
