EDU 525 - Tech-Integration Field Experience I, 1 credit hour

Prerequisite(s): EDU 514
Corequisite(s): EDU 516
The field experience(s) in the Educational Technology program consist of classroom and school system- based activities that allow candidates to integrate coursework and apply their knowledge and skills in educational settings. Activities are designed by candidates and supervised by University and school personnel to meet the six major components of the ISTE Standards for Coaches: Visionary Leadership; Teaching, Learning, and Assessments; Digital Age Learning Environments; Professional Development and Program Evaluation; Digital Citizenship, and Content Knowledge and Professional Growth. The goal of the first field experience is to allow candidates at the outset of the course to explore possible field activities and plan for their implementation with the support of an onsite mentor. Activities will then further their understanding of educational technology theory practice and to experience the practical aspects of technology facilitation.
