I currently teach a course on digital literacies and intercultural learning. You can find aggregated student blogs, some of my assignments and activities, the syllabus, and other things related to the course at http://diglit.creativitycourse.org
In the past, I taught two kinds of credit-bearing courses: ed tech for teachers and Educational Game Design
I have recently been listed as one of the best digital teachers!
Below are some teaching material I have used in various courses

Teacher Education
I started teaching in the Professional Educators Diploma in the educational technology track when it first started at the American University in Cairo in 2008. I have taught several of the courses, but the one I have taught most often, and which is closest to my heart, is the “Social, legal, ethical and human issues in educational technology” course. Here is my most recent syllabus.
