CONT702: Integration of Information & Computer Technology in Instruction Part 2

Course Schedule

Registration will remain open until 4pm EST on the posted registration deadline date.

Course Description

The interactive technologies available for the 21st-century classroom offer teachers new and innovative tools for meeting their students’ needs and preparing them for the “real world.” Technology can help improve students’ writing, reading, collaboration, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills and can connect them with the world, locally and globally. But with students’ diverse backgrounds and learning needs, curricular demands, accessibility issues, temperamental machines and limited resources, integrating technology in the classroom isn’t always easy. Integration of Information and Computer Technology in Instruction, Part 2, provides an extended exploration of key issues, practical and innovative strategies, valuable resources, and opportunities to interact with peers. This course will help you increase your confidence, knowledge, and competence with technology tools, strengthen your leadership skills, build your professional community, and enhance your students’ learning and engagement.

Application Requirements

1. OCT Membership showing completion of Part 1
2. CONFIRMATION OF TEACHING EXPERIENCE FORM Signed by a Supervisory Official* from your Board confirming that you have one year (194 days) of teaching experience since becoming a certified teacher.

*The Ontario College of Teachers defines "Supervisory Official" as the Superintendent or Assistant Superintendent of the school board for a teacher employed by a Board of Education. A principal or headmaster is not recognized in this capacity. For a teacher employed by a private school, the "supervisory official" is the Ministry of Education official (Education Officer) appointed to your school. For overseas experience the appropriate Supervisory Official is the person your Principal reports to.

**Please note that if you have an existing Part 2, Part 3 (Specialist), or Honour Specialist qualification on your OCT record you are not required to submit a form for a Part 2 course. A new form is always required for Part 3 (Specialist).
