Curriculum and Instruction: Educational Technology Advisement
Educational Technology is an advisement option within Curriculum and Instruction for teachers and others interested in the application of technology to curriculum. The program begins with a strong background in curriculum and instructional models, both in traditional and technology supported modes. Students take the C & I core courses, many of which are online or face-to-face, and an online core of three courses dealing with standards, assessment, and legal aspects of school-based technology. They then have options depending on their specific professional interests. The program is designed for technology proficient professionals who wish to develop themselves further and move into curriculum and technology leadership roles.
EdTech at CSUB is about the integration of technology within effective teaching and learning. Our program is based on solid research and effective practices and all participants take a core of courses in research, American education, and curriculum
Participants carry their skills and visions back to their places of employment throughout the program.
