MAIT 651 Hypermedia: The Art of Effective Integration
Students today are digital natives. They grow up immersed in technology long before they set foot in the classroom. They are connected to the entire world through television, the Internet, and a myriad of personal devices in electronic and digital format. According to Collins and Halverson, “People know what they want to learn, when they want to learn, and how they want to learn.” Classrooms equipped for the 21st century demand curriculums that integrate technology resulting in high standards, high expectations, and high results. With this in mind, teachers must acknowledge how students learn today and find every possible way to teach children and improve learning. Hypermedia studies facilitate the integration of technology into the K-12 curriculum standards, including content, devices, lesson planning, and diverse student learning. Emphasis will also be placed on the impact of technology in the North Carolina Teacher Evaluation Process.
