Big Changes in the Ed Tech Program

It is official: ISTE has nationally recognized both of our programs!!

We received word that the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) has fully recognized both of our programs: Technology Facilitator, earned through the Certificate in Ed Tech, and Technology Leader, earned through the Master's in Ed Tech.

Although the accreditation from NCATE is still in progress and we will not be fully accredited until the complete Unit (College of Education) is accredited, it is now established that ISTE recognized both of our programs.

If you would like to learn more about what these recognitions mean, visit the NCATE/ISTE links on the left menu.

Gainful Employment

NAU's College of Education offers Master's and Certificate programs in Educational Technology, which are delivered completely online. The advantage of an online degree is that it gives educational professionals, as well as other interested applicants, the opportunity to complete a graduate degree or certificate with freedom from the constraints of time and place. We are proud to have students from different states in the U.S. as well as from other countries, such as Japan, China, Saudi Arabia, etc.

As an educator, you must be prepared to meet the needs of students in a technologically advancing world. Our educational technology program is designed to help you explore and understand the use and integration of technology in instructional learning settings, being these in-person or online learning environments.

Our academic plans are based on the standards set forth by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) for both students and teachers.

According to NCATE/ISTE: "Building on the NETS for Students, the ISTE NETS for Teachers (NETS•T), which focus on preservice teacher education, define the fundamental concepts, knowledge, skills, and attitudes for applying technology in educational settings. All candidates seeking certification or endorsements in teacher preparation should meet these educational technology standards." (ISTE Recommended Foundations in Technology for All Teachers).

Over the last several years, study after study has identified good pre-service and in-service training in technology as the most pressing public school need related to educational technology. Are you up for the challenge? Why not start your application today?

Visit the Information link on the left panel to learn about the materials needed to participate in the program.
