Integrating Technology into the Adult Education Classroom

The Integrating Technology into the Adult Education Classroom course, developed by Dr. Mary Gaston, is designed to assist full-time and part-time adult educators in developing skills and knowledge to effectively integrate instructional technology into the adult education curriculum. The course will enable educators to enhance the learning environment, maximize student learning, and facilitate student assessment and evaluation. 

Students are expected to have some experience with basic technology, but will be given basic instruction in Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and the Internet.  Students will explore various issues related to the integration of technology into the adult education classroom, and will create lessons that integrate technology into the curriculum.

Students will engage in meaningful dialogue about technology integration in small groups as well as large group activities which relate to the College of Charleston’s conceptual framework of making the teaching and learning connection.  Students will be active participants in exploration and projects that meet their individual professional development needs.

The goals and objectives are correlated to the College of Charleston’s Teaching and Learning Standards to assist teachers in developing skills and knowledge to effectively integrate curriculum in order to enhance the learning environment, maximize student learning, and facilitate student assessment and evaluation.  Teachers completing the course will meet the requirements for Technology Proficiency, South Carolina Proviso 1.40.
