Technology is a tool that can support student engagement and the development of critical knowledge and skills. College educators must learn how to harness the growing number of new technologies for constructive use in diverse learning contexts. This course provides education professionals with the opportunity to demonstrate a practical application of theories, concepts, and skills gained throughout the program. Education professionals consider how to stay abreast of available technologies and related research as well as how to use these tools and research most effectively in face-to-face, hybrid, and online environments. Through a real-world, problem-solving project within their work environment, education professionals demonstrate their ability to make critical decisions on when and how to implement technological solutions, how to assess the value of these tools for students in particular learning contexts, and how to maximize the power of technology for learning in a global environment.
