Instructional Technology
The Department of Curriculum, Leadership, and Technology offers two concentrations in the area of Instructional Technology:
-
Technology Applications for both P-12 Educators and Non P-12 Personnel
The Technology Applications Concentration prepares candidates to be technology coaches, coordinators, or instructional technologists in a variety of contexts: public schools, business, industry, government, the military, health fields, and higher education.
2. Library Media
The Library Media Concentration prepares candidates to be Media Specialists in public schools; to practice the standards of the American Association of School Librarians; and to design, develop, utilize, manage, and evaluate instructional technology.
Within each concentration we also offer two levels of degrees
- Master of Education (M.Ed.)
- Education Specialist (Ed.S.)
Each degree level and each concentration can lead to state certification if and when a candidate passes the required state tests and applies for said certification. Certification in the area of Instructional Technology (IT) is NEW to the state of Georgia and we are proud to invite you to come be among the first in the state to obtain IT certification.
The Instructional Technology (IT) degree allows candidates to obtain an advanced degree in the rapidly growing field of instructional technology. Georgia media specialists, technology coordinators, and other educators and trainers with a degree in any field are invited to apply.
The online program offers participants the opportunity to complete all coursework and field experiences at a distance using the Internet and the VSU Course Management System. Because the online learning system is available continuously, candidates access their courses at their convenience using any computer connected to the Internet by a web browser such as Mozilla Firefox. Experiential learning and application of knowledge are vital components of each class.
