Welcome to our class Wiki - Educ 6040 - Fall 2010

Technology has permeated almost every aspect of many people's daily lives. Generally, its benefits have outweighted its challenges. In some areas, such as cell phone use, people's integration into their ongoing activities has been relatively natural and seemless, with people overcoming obstacles to seek its benefits. In other areas, such as educational technology use, integration into regular practice has required concerted work, with its benefits largely dependent on its appropriate use and deliberate efforts to situate its use within the many constraints of educational settings.

We will be using this WikiSpace to create content, share information, and build understandings collaboratively. You will have access to this space long after this course ends. As you experiment with creating a Wiki for this course, think about ways in which you might integrate similar technology in your future classrooms! Have fun!
