DESCRIPTION: The Master of Education in Instructional Technology consists of two concentrations: Computer/Technology and Instructional Technology/General. A degree can be obtained in any of the two concentrations, or the endorsement/licensure can be obtained without the degree for fewer credit hours.

The program is available 100 percent online.

The Computer/Technology concentration is a licensure endorsement program intended for teachers who plan to teach computer applications in the classroom or who want to assume technology coordinator positions in a school or at the district level. This endorsement can only be added to an existing teaching license and cannot be obtained independently as a separate licensure.

The Instructional Technology/General concentration is designed to prepare students to use a variety of technologies in classrooms, both in schools, in training facilities or in a variety of other capacities associated with instruction.

The dual degree Master of Education / Master of Library and Information Science for K-12 School Library Media Licensure (Dual Degree MEd/MLIS School Library concentration) leads to a multi-age licensure in school library media. This program is offered in cooperation with the College of Communication and Information and prepares students to work in all types of libraries, including school libraries, and confers initial teaching license. The program of study includes professional educational requirements, library sciences and instructional technology courses.
