ETEC 641 Integrating Media Literacy into Today’s K-12 Curriculum
3 credits 42.0 hours
600 level graduate course
Media education adds value to just about every curriculum in the K-12 classrooms. Media education has become a growing priority in today’s classroom because of the extent of the media’s importance in people’s lives. However, many teachers are unaware of the necessity and the techniques for making media literacy an integral part of the K-12 educational experience. On average, children in their middle and high school years spend 6-10 hours a day engaged either actively or passively in a ‘media related’ activity. Because students, regardless of their learning style, attend more fully to activities and ideas that they connect with, the media is often used to influence them from a very young age. This makes it necessary for teachers to ‘train’ their students to analyze messages and understand the techniques utilized to influence them via a broad range of sound and visual communication technologies. Integrating Media Literacy into Today’s K-12 Curriculum will teach educators how to incorporate media literacy into the classroom curriculum, regardless of the subject taught. This course will provide educators with the resources necessary to help students hone their critical thinking skills in a functional context so that they are able to recognize various marketing approaches, identify propaganda, understand stereotypes, critically evaluate media conveyed messages, and use the media as a tool for life-long learning.

ETEC 669 Steam for Integrated Learning
3 credits 42.0 hours
600 level graduate course
Creativity saturates science, technology, engineering, art, and mathematics (STEAM).
Integrated learning is a powerful means of facilitating meaningful learning. The artistic
process and the scientific method are more complementary than one might imagine- both
facilitate the exploration of ideas and possibilities. Both involve “process” and
“product.” Both require students to engage in creative and critical thinking that supports
collaborative learning. This course will explore STEAM integration models, in which you will test
lessons and tools to facilitate a STEAM-inspired curriculum. You will have the flexibility to
select specific areas of STEAM that are most relevant to your own classroom and teaching
style. You will emerge with the confidence and skill to authentically integrate across STEAM
content.

ETEC 670 Digital Badges: Getting Started With Micro-Credentialing
3 credits 42.0 hours
600 level graduate course
Badges make your classroom goals visible to students. Badges, or ‘micro-credentials,’ help
motivate students, as students are able to see what they need to do to reach a goal or master a
skill. Students want to do well, and they want to be recognized for their accomplishments. Leave
this course with a foundational understanding of digital badges- online representations of skills
earned- and open badges- verification of student skills, interests and achievements- and how to
implement a badge system within your school or classroom. Take your current curriculum, lift up
those objectives, skills, understandings and concepts, to represent as badges that show
criteria students must meet to earn them. The case study method will be used to illustrate the
successful design and implementation of digital badge systems by schools and educators.

In the process we’ll look at two modes of writing that are often at odds with each other: the well-established model of three-act, dialogue-driven screenwriting as exemplified by mainstream Hollywood/TV, on the one hand, and alternate forms as exemplified by the so-called “art film,” on the other. In-class workshop of student scenes will alternate with lectures, screenings and studio work (filmmaking from student scripts).
