The classes will take place in Rockland and will also involve hybrid and online coursework.The Master's program in Instructional Technology develops expertise in the use of leading edge media and technology for teaching and learning. Graduates of the program work as master teachers in P-12 classrooms, and as school or district instructional technology leaders, staff developers, and curriculum designers. Initial courses enhance teachers' expertise with a wide range of media and applications and set the stage for understanding how instructional technology can fulfill its potential to Entice, Encourage, Enable, and Empower learners.
Building on theories of learning, motivation, and curriculum design, teachers next learn to apply newly developed technology skills to language arts, social studies, math, science, and technology curricular content. An innovative action research project caps the experience as participants join the small number of certified educational technology specialists in New York state. Much of the coursework in the Instructional Technology program for educators will be offered in hybrid or online environment. Instructors represent both research-based faculty from NYIT and practicing technology leaders with special expertise in our public schools.
