Minor in Education and Technology

Our society has witnessed increasing public enthusiasm for computing and communications

technologies over the past century. This growing enthusiasm has produced a need for

current and future teachers to become more knowledgeable about the educational potential

of current technologies for teaching and learning - as well as their limitations, and the

concerns they raise. Such knowledge is essential if teaching professionals are to help

shape wise decisions about whether, why, and how to make use of new technologies in

school environments. This minor provides a structure for undergraduate studies of

education and technology, which will help to meet the developing needs of education

professionals in this domain.
