CERTIFICATE REQUIREMENTS
Educational Technology Certificate Program Courses

The ETCP consists of courses that are sequenced according to four categories that include technology foundations, core courses, integration of technology, and electives.

Technology foundations courses enable participants to master the fundamental skills and competencies for using technology to support teaching, learning and classroom management. Methods for integrating technology into the PreK-12 content areas are emphasized. All candidates seeking initial teacher certification are required to complete a minimum of one
3-credit technology foundations course. 

Core courses require that participants develop technology-enhanced learning environments and experiences that are based on current research in the area of teaching and learning with technology. Methods for identifying and using technological resources that meet the needs of students with diverse backgrounds, learning styles, and abilities are introduced.

Courses that focus on the integration of technology prepare participants to use technology for developing students' higher order thinking skills and creativity. Methods for managing student learning activities in a technology-enhanced environment are included.

Elective courses provide participants with opportunities to explore a variety of topics related to the use of technology in educational settings. Course selection is based on personal interest and includes areas such as emerging technologies, robotics, instructional design, research, and others.
