EDLF 545:
Applied Teaching with Technology

Welcome to EDLF 545!

The course...

EDLF 545 is a unique opportunity for students to learn about the use and integration of leading edge technologies and apply technology to support learning in a K-12 setting. It is a collaborative effort between the University of Virginia's Curry School of Education and Albemarle County Public Schools.

The focus...

The highlight of the course is the Technology Infusion Program (TIP), which partners each EDLF 545 student with a mentor teacher in an Albemarle County school to design and implement a technology-enhanced instructional module. The internship provides the students with practical classroom experience and the Albemarle County teachers with professional development on educational technologies and their applications.

The outcome...

Each Curry School student will work with different educational technologies throughout the semester. The final product will be a project that demonstrates not only proficiency in different technologies, but how to apply them in an actual classroom. Students work as part of a cohort and often go on to be leaders and innovators in implementing technology in education.
