The Master of Learning Technologies (MLT) program at the Ohio State University centers on helping individuals understand how to solve problems through the use of data collection and technological integration. This professional degree requires individuals to complete the ESLTECH7289 Practicum where individuals are immersed in an authentic learning experience that identifies an educational problem, evaluates the implications in the current educational framework, and works to create a potential solution.
The Project
This project documents the response utilized by a South Central Pennsylvania school district to successfully reduce the annual damage of district purchased devices at the elementary level while also increasing iPad usability and digital citizenship of students.
Project management and the A.D.D.I.E. model are two prominent design approaches used to bring this educational solution to life.
