Description
Technology is reshaping the future of education. Interactive technologies enable educators and administrators to enhance the quality of learning for their students. Integrating Technology in the Classroom (ITC) is a graduate-level computer course specifically designed for educators and administrators with activities appropriate for students at both introductory and intermediate levels.

The course begins with an overview on how the integration of technology facilitates student learning. As students progress their knowledge of evaluating online resources and designing learning activities with new technology increases. This hands-on experience allows students to customize assignments for their specific grade level and curriculum specialty. Participants learn strategies for technology integration, assessment in technology integrated lessons, and teaching cyber ethics. They create curriculum specific activities for integrating Web sites, word processing software, presentation software, spreadsheets, and online tools. As a final project, participants create a class Web site incorporating curriculum-specific, technology-integrated activities. The course culminates with participants creating an electronic portfolio demonstrating their growth during the course
