Cross-listed with Art Education 493/593
Art, Architecture & Environmental Education in the Schools

This course uses New Mexico State Standards in Math, Science, Social Studies and Art and translates them into design experiences for students K-12. Students learn how to use design and project based learning to teach visual thinking in two and three dimensions.

The program is a form of environmental education using the built, natural and cultural environments as a palette for creative problem solving and imagination. Students will be trained to use simple techniques in drawing and model building so that children can independently create new homes, furniture, bridges, playgrounds, parks, cities and even remodel your classroom.

Based on the design studio, by which architects are trained, students will be able to:

• work in small groups and teams
• work independently
• be responsible for their own learning and creating
• integrate thinking from math, science, history and art
• present their ideas using visual tools, diagrams, speech and communication
• State Standards included in all design experiences

Required Meeting Times:
Face-to-Face - May 9, 1:00 - 3:00 pm UNM Main campus, School of Architecture - room TBD

Course Description:
This fully online course will focus on literature as rhetorical discourse, or a purposeful exchange between writer and reader, through examining books banned in America in the 1990s and 21st century. We will read at least one book challenged or banned for each of the three most common reasons: because they 1) are contrary to readers’ religious views, 2) contain profane or objectionable language, or 3) contain sexual content which readers find offensive. We will consider the social forces at work in specific cases in which these books were challenged and analyze the cultural and rhetorical significance of the banned books as well as the controversy surrounding them.

Assignments will include several short writing assignments, online discussion, and two longer essays.

Prerequisite: ENGL 102 or its equivalent.

Required Text(s):
Banned in the U.S.A. by Herbert N. Foerstel

Course Description:
In English 220.012, you will use gender and popular culture as a lens for writing about books, film, and your own experience. Since this course will take place completely online, a class blog and discussion board will take the place of face-to-face class time. We will ask questions about and examine literature and films that deal with both "mainstream" and "alternative" views of gender, as well as identify ways we can better understand each other's experiences as humans in the modern age. Your assignments will include publishable quality book and film reviews and an extended blog piece told from the point of view of someone of the opposite gender, whom you will interview. Our texts will be films, "popular" novels, and scholarly articles in gender studies. In this course, we will begin a dialogue that hopefully will extend into the rest of your life, to better equip you to interact with other human beings, as well as write about them. An online course requires an extra measure of self-discipline, as much of your work will be self-directed.

Required Text(s):
The Spy Who Loved Me by Ian Fleming (paperback)
Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisburger (paperback)
Articles as assigned
Films (TBA)

Detailed Description:
Students explore constructivist learning theory as it applies to educational technology as a tool in the learning environment and examine the impact of technology in relation to the changing role of the teacher. Teachers need both technical skills and instructional “know how” to use computers to support student learning. Readings, activities, assignments, and discussions are designed to develop a broad professional knowledge base on teaching and learning with technology across the K-12 curriculum. Students will consider the following questions: How can computers help students learn? How can I teach with technology rather than about technology?

Because this is a required course for the College of Education, it mirrors the rigor and interest of the face to face course, including interaction with other students and group work. Just like a face-to-face course, it will take time each week for required assignments, readings and practice. There is an important component about teaching included that will build to your methods courses. You should leave it more prepared for teaching, with some good technology skills and hopefully, a fresh look at learning that will carry you through as you begin the best job in the world, teaching! A successful student will need to check into the course often during the week.

Required Meeting Times

Required Text

Detailed Description:
This is an introductory course in the application of behavioral principles in educational settings. Principles and strategies introduced in this course are derived from an extensive research base in applied behavior analysis and effective teaching with learners who have disabilities and with those who are typically developing. The course presents information on the definition and measurement of behavior, principles of reinforcement and associated strategies, systematic program development, basic formats for classroom instruction, and techniques for monitoring student progress. It also includes information and discussion on the responsible and ethical use of behavioral strategies with all students.

The course emphasizes procedures for increasing academic and socially appropriate behavior through simulations and practice exercises. Review of research methodologies and the critical analysis of research literature in the area of applied behavior analysis are required. The course will consist of a blend of lecture (recorded online), small group exercises, and discussion. Students will engage in practice exercises in which they will apply techniques learned in taking the class to everyday classroom or social situations. They will also complete a functional behavior assessment with a student. Doing so allows sustained practice in understanding the factors affecting a social or academic behavior, and developing and implementing an appropriate intervention plan to assist the individual to decrease problem behaviors and replace these with appropriate ones.

Orientation:
There will be an orientation session held at the UNM campus on 1/24/09 in EDUC 206 from 1:00-3:30 pm. This session will provide an introduction to the course and its requirements, including the technical requirements of taking an online course. It will also offer an opportunity to meet the instructor, technical support person, and other classmates.

Required Meeting Times:
There will be two face-to-face sessions at UNM. The first will be held on 1/24/09 in EDUC 206 from 1:00-3:30 pm. (See above.) The second face-to-face session will be held on 5/9/09 in EDUC 206 from 1:00-3:30pm. During the second meeting on May 9th, students will present the findings from their functional assessment projects, and we'll have a wrap up of the course.
