Teaching Impacts of Technology: Relationships

• Когда я получу доступ к лекциям и заданиям?

  Доступ к лекциям и заданиям предоставляется в зависимости от типа регистрации. Если вы проходите курс в режиме слушателя, то получите бесплатный доступ к большинству материалов курса. Чтобы открыть оцениваемые задания и возможность получить сертификат, необходимо будет приобрести прохождение с сертификатом. Это можно сделать во время прохождения в режиме слушателя или после него. Если вы не видите варианта 'Режим слушателя'.

  • Курс может не предлагаться в режиме слушателя. Попробуйте бесплатную пробную версию или подайте заявку на финансовую помощь.

  • Курс предлагаться в режиме 'Полный курс, без сертификата'. В нем можно просматривать все материалы, выполнять обязательные задания и получить итоговую оценку. Приобрести дополнительно прохождение с сертификатом в таком случае нельзя.

• Что я получу, оформив подписку на специализацию?

  Записавшись на курс, вы получите доступ ко всем курсам в специализации, а также возможность получить сертификат о его прохождении. После успешного прохождения курса на странице ваших достижений появится электронный сертификат. Оттуда его можно распечатать или прикрепить к профилю LinkedIn. Просто ознакомиться с содержанием курса можно бесплатно.

• Можно ли получить финансовую помощь?

  Да. В некоторых программах обучения вы можете подать заявку на получение финансовой помощи или стипендии, если не можете оплатить регистрационный взнос. Если для выбранной вами программы предлагается такая возможность, вы увидите ссылку для подачи заявки на странице описания.

• What will I be able to do upon completing this course?

  How have your abilities to connect with others changed because of Facebook, Instagram or FaceTime? In this course you’ll explore how our ability to stay connected and make connections in a mobile society have been enabled or inhibited by technology. You’ll explore technical concepts including software engineering processes, heuristics, algorithmic running time, and digital image encoding and processing. After successfully completing this course you will be able to:

  [1] Debate various ways in which ubiquitous and connected technologies have benefited or inhibited our ability to maintain and create new relationships.

  [2] Explain how design decisions have influenced the Facebook news feed algorithm, the value of heuristics, how algorithm’s running time is analyzed, and be able to model image encoding, represent colors in multiple ways, and explain image modifications such as filters and blurs.

  [3] Enact pedagogical knowledge in computer science-specific contexts, including interactive and active learning. Utilize the CSTA Computer Science K-12 standards and interactive learning suggestions for CS to improve a lesson plan of your choice.

• Can this course help me get the California Supplementary Authorization to teach Computer Science?

  Yes! This course is designed as component of a Specialization that is 1 of a set of 4 Specializations (all will be offered on Coursera) that will support the requirements of the California Supplementary Authorization. Additionally, the Specialization may support credentialing or authorization in other states. However, most states require a transcript from an accredited institution of higher education. See the FAQ question on “Will I earn university credit” to find out how to get such a transcript.

• Will I earn university credit for completing this course?

  Yes, you can earn UCSD credit for completing this course, but only by completing the full Teaching Impacts of Technology in K-12 Education Specialization. In addition, you will need to (1) Enroll in an additional UCSD Extension course before completing the capstone ($500) and (2), complete part of the capstone project via an online proctoring service. After this is done, your Specialization course grades will be accumulated and a transcript with your final grade (both letter grade or pass-only supported) will be issued from UCSD with 4 graduate-level units. These are eligible to count towards the California Supplementary Authorization.

• What background knowledge is necessary to succeed in this course?

  There is no background knowledge, neither in education nor in Computer Science, required to take this course - just an interest in learning computational concepts about the technology that surrounds us and how to best teach those concepts to others.

  Basic proficiency in the use of Googledocs will be needed to complete assignments within the course. Google help documentation will be provided, and with some extra attention, first time use of Googledocs should not be a barrier to successful completion of the course.

• What is the value of taking this course online?

  By providing this course online, our goal is to enable you to master all the material in the course at a pace that is appropriate for you, rather than the typical processes of picking a specific date and measuring how much you can learn by that date of in-person courses. Instead of the relatively bigger chunks of learning work found in traditional courses (e.g. go to class, read the book, do homework, study for the test) this course has a lot of smaller and more diverse activities that guide your learning experience. We use a lot of online features to

  Break learning into smaller chunks

  Engage you more in thinking and discussing content with others

  Better integrate and more frequently test your knowledge (with a focus on mastery, allowing you to go back and learn what you missed then come test again)

  Give you practice in teaching-specific skills you will need as an educator (finding and evaluating online teaching resources, critiquing and modifying lesson plans)

  We hope you enjoy and learn a lot!
