Description
The program provides teachers with the professional training
needed to add Computer Education to an instructional
license through the Educational Technology Program in the
Curriculum & Instruction Department. The program ensures
the development of appropriate skills among those who lead
and/or teach in programs utilizing educational technology
as well as for all classroom teachers who want to be able
to effectively integrate technology into the curriculum. Students
completing the program will develop an understanding of the
social, economic, and political factors related to the use
of educational technology while also gaining an understanding
of the cognitive and affective characteristics of learners
of various learning abilities. Students will develop an understanding
of technology operations and concepts, planning and designing
learning environments and experiences, apply and implement
curriculum plans that include methods and strategies for utilizing
technology to maximize student learning, apply technology
to facilitate a variety of effective assessment and evaluation
strategies, and apply technology to enhance and improve personal
productivity and professional practice. The Purdue Educational
Technology program is performance-based and demonstrated by
way of a portfolio. Furthermore, students who successfully
complete the program demonstrate proficiencies in accordance
with the Indiana Professional Standards Board and the nationally
recognized ISTE Technology Facilitation standards.
For more information, please refer to Completing
the Indiana License in Computer Education at Purdue University.

EDCI 5ZZ Field Experience in Educational Technology
(see Field Experiences below for more information)
Educational Technology licensure application
EDCI
573 Instructional Development Practicum
The field experience in Educational Technology takes place
during the post undergraduate experience, generally during
the first year of the teacher candidate’s teaching in
the schools. It includes observation and participation in
the teaching process and program development activities. The
field experience is designed so that teachers who have initial
licensure and are actively working in their own classroom
can use that setting to demonstrate the following skills and
knowledge, as designated by the ISTE Technology Facilitation
Standards for Teachers:
Standards
III B 1. Use methods and strategies for
integrating technology resources that support the needs
of diverse learners including adaptive and assistive technology.
IV C 2. Examine and apply the results of
a research project that includes evaluating the use of a
specific technology in a P-12 environment.
V D 1. Model the use of telecommunications
tools and resources for information sharing, remote information
access, and multimedia/hypermedia publishing in order to
nurture student learning.
V D 2. Communicate with colleagues and
discuss current research to support instruction, using applications
including electronic mail, online conferencing, and web
browsers.
V D 3. Participate in online collaborative
curricular projects and team activities to build bodies
of knowledge around specific topics.
V D 4. Design, develop, and maintain Web
pages and sites that support communication between the school
and community
In addition, teachers seeking licensure in Educational Technology
must also demonstrate their skills and knowledge, as stated
in the ISTE Technology Facilitation Standards for Teachers,
through the dissemination of information and training to other
teachers, which can take place in their buildings through
in-service or mentoring experiences:
Standards
II A 3. Assist teachers as they use technology
resources and strategies to support the diverse needs of
learners including adaptive and assistive technologies.
II B 1. Assist teachers as they apply current
research on teaching and learning with technology when planning
learning environments and experiences.
IV A 2. Assist teachers in using technology
to improve learning and instruction through the evaluation
and assessment of artifacts and data.
IV B 1. Guide teachers as they use technology
resources to collect and analyze data, interpret results,
and communicate findings to improve instructional practice
and maximize student learning.
IV C 1. Assist teachers in using recommended
evaluation strategies for improving students' use of technology
resources for learning, communication, and productivity.
Uses of Technology
The Educational Technology supplemental licensure area is
based upon the standards of the International Society for
Technology in Education (ISTE) for Technology Facilitation
(initial endorsement). Courses in the Educational Technology
supplemental licensure area are infused with technology. Content
is delivered via technology (PowerPoint, WebCT, videos, etc.)
and students learn to use various technology applications
to create and deliver innovative instructional materials.
E-portfolios are created and maintained by the students and
are used to document technology expertise as well the ability
to create meaningful instructional materials, supported by
technology, for use with K-12 students.
