EDU3453 Arts Technology and Teaching (FOEDU)

Units 1.0 (Teacher Education: Primary) Band 5

Synopsis

In this course, students will be exposed to a range of technologies including scanning personal images and manipulation of computer generated sound. Students will experiment with images and sound using appropriate software. The content covered will deal with visual and aural cognition and its transference into the production of images and organised sound using technology sufficient for classroom teaching. IMPORTANT NOTE: Working with Children: State law in Queensland requires that all adults (including university students, pre-service educators, trainers, vocational teachers, industry educators) working with children under the age of 18, in the State of Queensland*, obtain approval before commencing such work. Many education courses include a practical component (professional experience, project work, research, assessment etc.) that may require engagement with children under the age of 18. It is your responsibility to ensure that you possess a current suitability card (Blue Card) before commencing any practical components of this course. DO NOT PARTICIPATE IN ANY PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE WITH CHILDREN UNDER 18 UNLESS YOU POSSESS A CURRENT 'BLUE CARD'.
