Subject: Summer and Fall 2006 Course Scheduling Advice

Greetings to all ed tech graduate students at the University of Delaware!
I am writing to provide you with course scheduling advice for the upcoming
Summer session and Fall semester of 2006. As always, you should check with
your advisor each semester to confirm that your course selection is in 
line with your particular program. This course advisory contains sections
for M.Ed. Students, M.I. Students, and Ed.D. Students, respectively.

                  ===Courses for M.Ed. Students=== 

All M.Ed. students are required to take one of the following
courses: 

    EDUC 600 Teacher as Researcher

EDUC 607 is being taught in the Summer of 2006. Both EDUC 600 and 
607 are being offered in Fall 2006.

All M.Ed. students are required to take the following curriculum course, 
which is being offered during the Summer and Fall of 2006:

From the ed tech specialty, the following two required courses are 
being offered in the Fall of 2006: 

    EDUC 639 Learning Technologies Across the Curriculum
    EDUC 685 Multimedia Literacy

There is also a wide range of ed tech electives that are being offered
as part of the Summer Institute. Of these, the following count as ed 
tech specialization electives:

   EDUC 632 Using the Internet for Curriculum Applications
