“We understand that our schools and congregations do not typically have dedicated IT personnel, yet technology is vital. A teacher who also acts as a technology director can provide the ideas, support, and encouragement that will align technology use with 21st-century educational goals and with our most important goal: sharing the gospel.”

This certificate program is designed for current and aspiring technology directors who do not wish to enroll in a full master’s degree program, but do want to grow as a technology leader, specifically to expand their understanding of how technology can impact teaching, learning, and the curriculum.
The certificate is awarded after the learner completes three courses (9 credits):
- EDT5001 Enhancing the Curriculum with Technology 3 Credits
The integration of technology with curriculum content and instruction. - EDT5002 Emerging Technologies in Education 3 Credits
An investigation of recent trends in hardware, software, policy, and pedagogy to develop a clearer picture of the possibilities for emerging technologies in the K-12 classroom. - EDT5010 Technology and Universal Design for Learning 3 Credits
Using technology through the Universal Design for Learning (UDL) framework to successfully engage diverse learners in the general education classroom. Participants analyze the learner, the content, and the instructional process for ensuring that all students have equal access to the school’s curriculum.
The three courses are transferrable to the full master’s degree program if the learner decides to continue.
