The MSEd in Educational Technology Specialist prepares candidates to strategize and implement technology to reach individual learners and support school-wide initiatives.

The School of Education views technology as a tool to empower both the learner and the teacher, and as a tool to constantly advance pedagogy and practice. This program develops your expertise in integrating technology with effective instruction for all learners, including those with disabilities and to support technology initiatives in their schools.

Through in-class activities, hands-on projects, and field experiences, you will develop expertise in creative and effective uses for technology as part of a curriculum plan to help students of varied abilities succeed in class, as well as collaborative team-building, and innovative problem-solving.

Recent studies by the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) highlight the disparity between educational technology advances and the skills of teachers to use those advances in the classroom. To address that disparity, Pace’s School of Education has voluntarily adopted the ISTE National Educational Technology Standards (NETS) not only for our programs in Educational Technology, but also for all teacher preparation programs.

Pace’s School of Education views educational technology as both a body of knowledge and skills, and a vehicle for personal and social empowerment. Throughout the Pace School of Education programs, technology is integrated and “the medium is the message.” Candidates learn through the same advanced technologies they are preparing to teach with and about. We see technology as a tool to empower both the learner and the teacher and as a tool to constantly advance pedagogy and practice. Recognizing the need for teachers and related professionals to use a broad range of technologies in their multiple roles as teachers, mentors, facilitators, researchers, change agents, and life-long learners, the Pace School of Education offers the MSEd in Educational Technology Specialist.
