EDU 583: Curriculum and Assessment (part 1)

In EDU 583 we focused on comprehensive planning with the backward design model.The central text was __Understanding By Design__ by Wiggins & McTighe. We applied our understanding of the material through the creation of a unit over the course of the semester. This allowed us to test our ideas in stages and change things as necessary. The actual teaching of the unit will occur in the Fall of 2009. There was also a focus on the implementation of Web 2.0 tools. The text TPCK served as a resources for ways to implement technology integration across the content areas.
