Model and facilitate effective use of current and emerging digital tools to locate, analyze, evaluate, and use information resources to support research and learning. || Free Technologies: and peers using a variety of digital-age media and formats. || Use of wiki (course wiki) || to new technologies and situations. || Students will learn how to use new technologies (NonLinear PPt) to create a student-centered WebQuest. || 7. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students' diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources 8. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity || * All three of these will be accomplished through student learning how to create a WebQuest through PPt to be placed on their wiki.
 * **Objective** || **Activity** ||
 * 1. Evaluate and reflect on current research and professional
 * 2. Address the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies
