- 4. Piloting the Course Summer session: once a week for three hours Instructor team met weekly to collaborate and to discuss the approaching course activities Active use of formative evaluation as the course was developed Instructors were co-learners with each other and with the students Students developed a collection or ”portfolio” of their work – artifacts with reflections in LiveText
- 5. Examples of Artifacts Office products Publisher brochure Multimedia Audio: Teaching philosophy Video: Memorable teacher Collaborative group work - Emerging Technologies presentation Smart Boards – Notebook file (counting money)

Editor's Notes
- #4: Landscape view of the course – Office, Multimedia, Emerging Tech, Issues in Tech (pflaum book, ISTE), Vista, LiveText Conceptual framework and NCATE standards – Tech, Collaboration, Reflection, Diversity – we modeled collaboration as well as encouraged it in our students (class time lent itself to students helping students, group work for emerging tech). Diversity - how might this help in classrooms, online discussions addressed the digital divide. Reflection – every artifact that was created had a required reflection
- #11: Weekly meetings with food – both professional and personal connections, support from Dept head who was kept in the loop and also very involved in the facilitation and management of administrative issues (scheduling, equipment); Dean was kept in the loop and encouraged the process – also helped with issues as they arose (securing equipment, etc.)
- #12: Getting equipment and tech support as needed – since it was a new course some unexpected issues arose (jump drives), time to plan and to teach the course – tips on how to manage course content within the time frame
