Welcome to the course wiki for CD 173- Curriculum for Young Children: Math, Sci. & Tech

This course explores how to create and implement curriculum for young children, with a focus in the use of technology to teach math and science, and the development of technological fluency. The underlying philosophy of this course is that people learn better when engaged in making and designing their own meaningful projects; therefore, we will become designers of curriculum and technological tools and we will test it out in a pilot project in an early childhood classroom. We will observe how children play and learn with technology and we will learn how to use on-line tools to document their learning experience. This course has three pillars: design of innovative curriculum and technological environments, observation and evaluation of technology-rich curriculum in the classroom, and documentation of the experience using new technologies.
