M.S. in Educational Technology
Through a cohort model, teachers in the program engage in small learning communities that encourage collaboration, problem-solving, and the development of knowledge and skills to prepare them for technology leadership responsibilities. The program focuses on core concepts of equity, educational technology integration, distance education, instructional design, the 4 Cs (critical thinking, creativity, communication, and collaboration) and technology professional development.
