DESCRIPTION: The Department of Leadership, Technology, and Human Development offers advanced study opportunities in Instructional Technology. These courses provide teachers, media specialists, instructional supervisors and postsecondary personnel the skills and competence necessary to select and use technology in all its forms. Attention is directed to the unique needs of individuals who aspire to leadership positions in the Instructional Technology field.

The knowledge base that supports this rapidly changing field is linked to the classroom practitioner and administrator through structured experiences that model the design, development, use, management, and evaluation of learning resources.

The M.Ed. program in Instructional Technology meets all Georgia Professional Standards Commission requirements and fully subscribes to the curriculum protocols established by the Association for Educational Communications and Technology.

If you wish to enhance your technology skills, but do not wish for state certification as a Media Specialist you can enroll using the M.Ed. in Instructional Technology non-certification option.
