Our Team and Task >>
We are a team of graduate students in iMet Cohort 12 which is part of the Masters of Education: Educational Technology program in the Teacher Education Department at California State University, Sacramento. iMet cohort members, working both in teams and as individuals, collaborate to learn how to combine technology tools with effective teaching strategies as they design technology integrated curriculum and professional development experiences.
As part of two course project assignments, our group was tasked with developing a research-based staff development training plan that includes application of web 2.0 tools to encourage collaboration and problem solving. Our team created an instructional unit called WordPress for Educators or simply, wp4edu.
