Director’s Column
Greetings Educators,
I find it hard to believe but it’s spring again! And, as we approach the final stretch of another school year, I find myself reflecting back on another successful year of offering the Certificate Program to Michigan’s teachers. The Educational Technology Certificate Program will celebrate its 10th year of providing a professional development that aids Michigan teachers in effectively integrating technology into their curriculum.
Over the past ten years there has been a shift in technology professional development from a technology driven perspective to a more holistic view. Today we no longer focus solely on “how to” use computer technology. We now focus on the pedagogical aspects of technology as a tool for learning and how technology should be integrated into all aspects of the curriculum.
We’ve learned that as an educator you are continually evaluating, adjusting, and changing how and what you deliver to the students. And, as a result we want to insure that the program we deliver meets the needs of today’s teacher.
We are in the process of evaluating our program and you can help. In today’s rapidly changing world we do not want to rely only on our perceptions about what teachers need. Instead, we want teachers to tell us what they need. Please take a few minutes to take the on-line survey and help us improve the quality of our program by better meeting your current and future professional development requirements. We understand that your time is valuable and we thank you in advance for taking the time to help us improve our program.
