The use of technology in the classroom is a vital part of instruction these days, as nearly every school is equipped with a wide range of computers and there are thousands of online learning experiences and educational software products out there to instruct students at every level. After all, electronic media is a preferred form of information gathering for current students, and the savvy teacher would do well in joining the technological learning revolution.
Although there are many number of classes involving the use of electronic media in the classroom in just about any bachelor's-level education degree program, if you want an education specifically focused on educational technology, you may wish to pursue a Master of Education (MEd) or Master of Science (MS) in educational technology. In such a program you will learn about the different kinds of educational media and technology available to you and gain hands-on experience in its use. You'll also learn techniques for integrating technology into the classroom and using it in distance learning. You may also explore the possibility of developing your own instructional multimedia materials.
With an educational technology degree, you will be a very effective classroom teacher, but you could also put this education to use should you decide to pursue a career in school administration or curriculum development. You could also branch out into private sector work such as corporate training for a business or health care organization.
