Meeting the
Technology Requirements:
The following statement describes
how the technology requirement can be met, and the practical
standards to be employed.
What is required?
The technology requirement
consists of five parts:
- E-mail
- World Wide Web
- Word Processing or
Presentation software
- Database or Spreadsheet
- Educational Software
Of the five parts, FOUR
may be satisfied by demonstrating a simple or fundamental use
described in the Level 1 column of the Technology Requirement
Table. ONE part of the requirement
must be satisfied by demonstrating an adaptive,
professional/pedagogical use described in the Level 2 Column of
the Technology Table.
How can teacher
candidates meet the requirement?
Teacher candidates can satisfy
each part of the technology requirement in any of the
following ways:
1. DEMONSTRATE THROUGH COURSE
ASSIGNMENTS
Instructors of Teacher
Preparation courses (e.g., 301, 401, 402) ( TE 302, 407 and 408
for Secondary Education) are encouraged to
design course assignments that allow teacher candidates to
demonstrate their technological competence. Course instructors
can determine if a student meets certain requirements by
examining the product or behavior as specified in the following
table.
2. ATTEND TECHNOLOGY WORKSHOPS.
Four workshops are offered
weekly in the Technology Exploration Center (TEC). Each workshop
lasts two hours. The last half-hour is intended for students who
desire to meet the technology requirement. Students can utilize
this half-hour to develop a product with skills and knowledge
acquired in the workshop to demonstrate that they have the
ability to meet one of the technology requirements. Workshop
topics and times are announced on the EGSOList, the
Information Kiosk in the TEC, and the TechGuide Web page.

3. DEMONSTRATE TO TECHGUIDES.
Teacher candidates can also
make appointments with tech guides to demonstrate their
technology competence. The tech guide schedule in the TEC is
available on the EGOSList, the Information Kiosk in the
TEC, and the Tech Guide Web Page [http://www.educ.msu.edu/tec/].
Excellence in Teaching
with Technology Awards
To encourage teacher candidates
to explore creatively the use of technology in real educational
settings, we have developed the Program of Award of Excellence in
Teaching with Technology. All teacher candidates, including
interns, may apply for the Award. Application materials and
evaluation standards will be available from the TechGuides Web
site or Room 130 Erickson Hall.
