Without formally applying to become part of the Educational Technology Master's Degree Program, an online student can take our Integration Specialist core and master enough technology and integration knowledge to become an Integration Specialist. Just as the title implies, an Integration Specialist prepares other educators to integrate computer technology into the K-16 curriculum. These core classes review tool and instructional software, their application to the K-16 curriculum, models for integration, implementation of lessons, and evaluation. The tool software explored includes word processing, telecommunications, spreadsheets, databases, and hypermedia. Each course also includes a component on adult education and its application to technology integration in a school district.
Some districts support teachers who take technology classes.
Check with your district technology committee to see if funds are available to cover your expenses. Educators completing these classes are entitled to teach 1 credit in-service workshops for Boise State University. To learn more about these classes, please click here .
