PLO 1 & PLO 2

Demonstrate knowledge and skills related to learning using technology (PLO 1).

Demonstrate knowledge and skills in current and emerging instructional technologies. (PLO 2).

Program Learning Outcome 1 ensures that the educator knows what they are doing and how to use the technology before the instructor teaches it to their learners.  The students will look at the teacher as the role model about the technology.  The student will also turn to the teacher for assurance of using the technology correctly.

Program Learning Outcome 2 reminds the educator to use technology in lessons to help with student engagement. Students are very much familiar with the use of technology that they tune out when the lesson is basic lecture and notes.   The educator can add presentations, the use of the Internet or computers or even the use of a smartphone to allow for visual and auditory stimulation and leads to better student engagement. According to Dabbagh (2006), emphasizes on structuring, organizing, and sequencing information to facilitate optimal processing. 

This activity will cover Program Learning Outcome 1 "demonstrating the knowledge and skills to learning using the technology in the classroom" and Program Learning Outcome 2 "demonstrating the knowledge and skills in current and emerging instructional technologies"
