====The curriculum for our online courses follows a designated scope and sequence model, allowing you to build the skills you need to infuse your pedagogy with the power of Web 2.0. The scope and sequence model is 3 tiered: Technology/Pedagogy/Content. With a scope and sequence model founded on teaching standards, you will develop proficiency and expertise. Our curriculum is designed to build this expertise as you move from "Getting Started in a 1:1 Classroom" to integrating Web 2.0 tools in core content areas in your teaching. It is possible to begin the sequence of courses in the fall and work through the courses in your content area through the spring. ====

**Friday Institute's Online Professional Development**- From the reflection and feedback from Administrators, Educators and Instructional Technologists we meet with at our Leading Innovation Institutes, the Friday Institute has created, in partnership with LearnNC, a clear scope and sequence to prepare for technology enriched environments. Each course is uniquely and specifically aligned to meet current and relevant technological, pedagogical and content needs of our cohorts and educators. We strive to create a culture of transparency, collaboration and support while building stronger and empowered educators and leaders. Spring 2012 course offerings.
