Learning Technologies, M.Ed. in Curriculum and Learning
This program was nationally-recognized for Technology Facilitator qualification by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) in 2010. In all of these courses, students are encouraged to actively explore and continually examine the characteristics as well as the educational advantages and disadvantages offered by the particular information or communication technology being used. Instruction in these courses relies heavily on modeling the use of technologies in teaching; students will not only learn about educational technologies, but will also learn with educational technologies.
Graduates of this program become expert classroom teachers, researchers, staff developers, and curriculum leaders with a commitment to equity and diversity in the use of technology in the schools.
