Module 1 Assign the members of your learning community as "experts" for each of the following eight concepts. Each member of your learning community should be the expert on two of the eight areas listed in the table below. (All members of the learning community will serve as experts for the last two concepts.) You will use these eight concepts as you develop your Capstone Project.

New York, NY: Routledge. || (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). Kevin - Management means effectively orchestrating people, processes, physical infrastructure and financial resources to achieve predetermined goals (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008) || Rachel McCullough || Rachel- Codes of Ethics were not created to serve as rules and expectations on how individuals or groups use or manage information and resources, but they serve as the basis for aiding individuals and groups with maintaining a high degree of professional conduct and standards. The basis for constructing principles for ethical awareness is to enable people to analyze their actions based on consideration for others, professional judgement, moral considerations, ethical standards, or legal action (or threat). Thus, the AECT Codes are designed to promote ethical behavior with a commitment to individual, society, and professional respect for the intellectual property of others.Yeaman, A. R. J., Eastmond, J. N., & Napper, V. S. (2008). Professional ethics and educational technology. Sonja -Technology Health and Safety: Follow sound professional procedures for evaluation and selection of materials, equipment, and furniture/carts used to create educational work areas (Principle 5) Make reasonable efforts to protect the individual from conditions harmful to health and safety, including harmful conditions caused by technology itself (Principle 6) In Januszewski, A. & Molenda, M (Eds.), Educational technology: A definition with commentary (pp. 283-386). New York, NY: Routledge. || Processes can be natural or invented. For example, an invented process would be the steps used in designing, developing, and implementing select methods and materials which will be used to facilitate learning and performance. A natural process would be the act of learning, thinking, or communicating (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). Kevin - Applying procedures that reflect the concepts and theories of learning and perrmornance improvement (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). Sonja - Managing: Educational Technology processes promote the proper management of projects. Start, plan, analyze, develop, evaluate, and stop (SPADES) is a project management paradigm based on the fundamental process of initiate,plan, execute, and close out (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). || Sonja- People such as Educational Technology Specialists and subject matter expert may serve as resources. LaTonya- Resources can come in various forms in order to improve learning and performance. Resources can be the technologies or tools used for learning or they can be human resources such as Educational Technology or Media Center Specialists. Kevin - Resources can take the form of tools, materials, devices, people, and settings that learners interact with to improve learning and performance (Januszewski & Molenda, 2008). ||

 * Using, Chapter 5 || Rachel McCullough || Using refers to theories and practices which bring learners into contact with learning conditions and resources. It starts with selecting appropriate materials and methods which have been carefully evaluated by the curricula designer and is deemed suitable for use by a given audience.
