Integration Know why you are using technology/media Possible goals of use Enhancement of current course Increase interest Illustration of abstract ideas and content Increased communication/interaction Distance education

Focus on Content Match integration approach to content and setting Sensation & Perception is good for demonstration Cognition is good for experimentation Social/Disorders are good for clips Personality may be good for discussion

Focus on Course Goals Design course objects first How can technology add to course success Increase critical thinking Discussion groups Experiments Web site review Increase research skills Experiments share data Increase awareness of phenomenon Video/demonstration

Summary Lots of reasons to use Know sources Know reasons Content Course Goals If not distance, try it slowly
