Master of Education in Instructional TechnologyProgram Description"The Master of Education (MEd) in Instructional Technology is an advanced degree program that focuses on integrating technology in the preK-12 schools to strengthen and transform teaching and learning. The program provides the knowledge and skills needed to incorporate technology effectively into preK-12 curricula, instruction, and assessment; to develop expertise in current and emerging instructional technologies; to gain deep understanding of the role of technology in the contemporary school; and to lead change efforts at the classroom, school, and district levels. The program combines three areas of study related to the preK-12 schools:
UCSP 611 Introduction to Graduate Library Research Skills "An overview of online library and information resources material that is critical for 21st-century managers. An in-depth introduction to the library research process and the tools necessary to succeed in graduate study are provided" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). EDTC 600 Foundations of Technology in Teaching and Learning "An introduction to the integration of technology in the schools focusing on how instructional technology affects and advances K-12 learning. Topics include principles of integrating technology to strengthen standards-based curricula, instruction, and assessment; selection of software and other technological materials" (University of Maryland University College, 2012).
EDTC 605 Teaching Information and Media Literacies in the Digital World "A study of the expanding types of literacies required for teaching and learning in the K-12 schools, with a concentration on digital information and media literacies" (University of Maryland University College, 2012).
EDTC 610 Web-Based Teaching and Learning: Design and Pedagogy "An examination of the theory that informs Web-based education and the implementation of best pedagogical practices. Challenges related to the original design and/or adaptation of effective Web-based instruction are explored" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). EDTC 615 Using Technology for Instructional Improvement: Research, Data, and Best Practices "Overview of systematic planning, development and evaluation of media-rich classroom instruction. Research and assessment data are analyzed for their use in promoting student learning and technology integration"(University of Maryland University College, 2012).
EDTC 620 Technology in K-12 Education: Synchronous, Asynchronous, and Multimedia Technologies A study of various technologies to assist teachers in strengthening content delivery and K-12 student learning. Focus is on designing and developing instructionally effective visual materials and multimedia for incorporation into the classroom (University of Maryland University College, 2012). EDTC 625 Hardware and Software in Instructional Development "A study of the application of hardware and software programs in K-12 classroom and school settings. Various operating systems and network issues commonly found in schools are examined" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). EDTC 630 Administration of Technology Initiatives: Planning, Budgeting, and Evaluation "An overview of the administration of technology in K-12 school systems. The impact of technology in schools is explored from a variety of perspectives, including access, planning, budgeting, maintenance, and life cycle management at the classroom, school, and district levels" (University of Maryland University College, 2012).
EDTC 640 Leading Technology Change in Schools "An overview of the theories, approaches, and strategies that help teachers assume leadership roles in implementing technology change in K-12 schools" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). . EDTC 645 Integration of Technology: Global Perspectives "Exploration of global perspectives on advancing K-12 student learning through technology. Investigation covers how schools design innovative units and programs that take full advantage of technology's ability to reach beyond national borders and promote global understanding and how various nations approach the challenge of technology integration in the schools" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). . EDTC 650 Teaching and Learning in K-12 Virtual Schools "An introduction to K-12 distance education, including the policies and structures of K-12 virtual schools, teaching and course development strategies appropriate for K-12 online courses, and current issues involved in the K-12 virtual enterprise" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). EDTC 670 Integrative Capstone Project "A self-directed project, in which teachers collaborate with colleagues within or across grade levels or departments to incorporate innovations into their curricula. Throughout the seminar, a portfolio is built to demonstrate the development, implementation, and outcomes of the project" (University of Maryland University College, 2012). .
