The Master of Arts in Educational Technology is designed to meet the needs of classroom teachers who want to apply technology to the learning process and for individuals wishing to develop leadership skills as site-based technology coordinators. This degree is intended to develop a broad range of technological expertise while at the same time focusing clearly on the new way that technology is changing how students and educators create and understand knowledge. Participants in the program will learn the new role of information, not as isolated facts but as building blocks to develop cognitive skills. The program is designed for beginners with little or no background in computing as well as for experienced computer users.
