Kar Rosen’s Profile

In this hands-on course, stu­dents will learn how to cre­ate phys­i­cal in­ter­faces for in­ter­act­ing with tech­nol­ogy. Stu­dents will be in­tro­duced to dig­i­tal fab­ri­ca­tion tech­niques. They will learn how to pro­gram mi­cro­con­trollers and how to build sim­ple cir­cuits. An em­pha­sis will be placed on build­ing and re­vis­ing pro­to­types.

In this hands-on course, students will learn how to create physical interfaces for interacting with technology. Students will be introduced to digital fabrication techniques. They will learn how to program microcontrollers and how to build simple circuits. An emphasis will be placed on building and revising prototypes.

This course is an in­tro­duc­tion to the the­o­ries, meth­ods and ma­te­ri­als of cur­ricu­lum plan­ning in early child­hood ed­u­ca­tion (Preschool – Grade 2), with an em­pha­sis on pro­vid­ing de­vel­op­men­tally and cul­tur­ally ap­pro­pri­ate learn­ing en­vi­ron­ments and ex­pe­ri­ences that en­cour­age cre­ativ­ity in young chil­dren. The fol­low­ing top­ics are ex­plored in depth: the in­tel­lec­tual and emo­tional im­por­tance of fos­ter­ing cre­ativ­ity, the role of play in learn­ing, the de­sign of ef­fec­tive arts-based learn­ing en­vi­ron­ments; the role of vi­sual arts, music, move­ment and lan­guage arts/emer­gent lit­er­acy in de­vel­op­ing chil­dren?s cog­ni­tive, so­cial-emo­tional, phys­i­cal, lan­guage and self-help skills. Course work in­cludes work­shops in plan­ning and im­ple­ment­ing cre­ative arts ex­pe­ri­ences for young chil­dren.

This course is an introduction to the theories, methods and materials of curriculum planning in early childhood education (Preschool – Grade 2), with an emphasis on providing developmentally and culturally appropriate learning environments and experiences that encourage creativity in young children. The following topics are explored in depth: the intellectual and emotional importance of fostering creativity, the role of play in learning, the design of effective arts-based learning environments; the role of visual arts, music, movement and language arts/emergent literacy in developing children?s cognitive, social-emotional, physical, language and self-help skills. Course work includes workshops in planning and implementing creative arts experiences for young children.
