The Master of Education in Classroom Technology is intended to educate leaders in the area of classroom technology. These
individuals will be capable of working within their local Community of Practice and within the regional, state and local areas
of which they are a part to support and develop the integration of technology into the learning experiences available through
schools and the community at large.
While this program develops specific technical skills, the theme of the program is the continual development of the integration
of technology into the school setting from a curriculum and instruction perspective. The relationship between choices made
about how technology is used in learning settings and the effect of those choices on what is learned (and how it is learned)
is seen as one of the major themes of the program. Two other major themes are: 1) the educator as change agent; and 2) the
exploration and application of concepts and practices that will allow the teacher to use technology with students in active
(as opposed to passive) learning settings.
By successfully completing the program as specified in these web pages, students who have a valid Ohio teaching certificate
or license qualify for the Ohio endorsement in computer/technology.
The program is currently being redesigned. Embedded in this redesign will be an option to take all the coursework for the
computer endorsement online. More information on the redesigned program to come in Fall 2010 will be available here soon.
The Master of Education in Classroom Technology is offered to cohorts, groups of students who begin the program together and
progress through the sequence of courses together. One on-campus cohort of 18-20 students is admitted each fall. Off-campus
cohorts are periodically started in various locations throughout northwest Ohio, as resources allow.
Course Descriptions and a Sample Course Sequence can be viewed by clicking here or using the links in the menu at the left.
Answers to Frequently Asked Questions, such as information on transfer credits, when classes are scheduled, the GRE, etc.
are similarly available.
The off-campus cohorts will meet in the local site for all courses, except online/web-based courses. Currently 2-5 of the
11 required courses are available as web-based. By fall 2010, all courses will be available online. See our Home Page for
new cohorts being formed.
