The course is aimed at the understanding of the theoretical and methodological principles of the educational technologies and media education. In particular the course fosters the theoretical and methodological mastery of the following topics:

• relationship between cognitive processes and technologies;
• technological devices for education;
• learning with the technologies;
• digital skills;
• didactic planning and multiple intelligences;
• multiple intelligences and technologies.

The course aims to address the main issues of technological education. Methodological concepts and principles of the main educational technologies will be addressed. Much space will be devoted to the analysis of concrete examples of didactic situations. A focus of the course consists of the combination of technologies and multiple intelligences, aimed at the development of the latter supported by technologies.

The course consists of 18 meetings of two hours each.

• Introduction to the course (1 lesson)
• Relationship between cognitive processes and technologies (3 lessons);
• Educational technology devices (2 lessons)
• Learning with technologies (2 lessons)
• Technology learning (2 lessons)
