Individual modifications may need to be made. Students will schedule their classes individually in a conference with Dr. Templar. Top The following special resources are available to candidates on this program: v Teacher Education Computer Lab – This state of the art facility contains both Macintosh and Windows XP computers. These computers are all linked to the college network and to the Internet. A section of this lab contains machines which are built by the students in the hardware class and then networked during the networking class. These machines are not attached to the campus network. v A wireless (WI-FI) network runs throughout the teacher education area. Thirty laptop computers are available for use on this network. During the summer they can be checked out by graduate educational technology students. v Multimedia classrooms – two of these classrooms are available for use by the program in the teacher education area. v Resource center – an extensive resource center with over 21,000 books is provided in the teacher education area,. This provides necessary curriculum and other resources for student projects. Top COURSE DESCRIPTIONS New Testament Survey (BIBL 5005) This course introduces students to the main people, places, events and themes of the New Testament. It is a graduate course that requires the student to master a large amount of material and to do some thinking and writing at an abstract level.

This course should help also to develop your communication skills—written, verbal and electronic—so as to enhance your effectiveness as a teacher. 3 credits Ministry of the Master (BIBL 5305) This course is a graduate level study of the ministry of Jesus as depicted in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John and various other Biblical witnesses. The aim of the course is to acquire knowledge of Jesus in His historical setting and to make contemporary applications of His ministry for the Christian. 3 credits Computer Networking and Communication Solutions (CPED 5400) This course allows students to gain a basic familiarity with microcomputer networking. Students will obtain a sense of the rate of change in networking and data communications technology which will impact their educational computing support roles in the coming years. Classroom activities will include lectures, equipment demonstrations, lab exercises, hardware and software installations, LAN site visits and student projects. 3 credits Special Issues: Integration of the Computer into the Classroom (CPED 5401) This course focuses on an understanding of issues of curriculum development and the effective use of commercially developed software as a teaching tool. Teachers will consider national and regional standards, ways in which computers can enrich and help students to learn more effectively, and the many ways in which computers can play a meaningful role in the classroom. Each student will primarily focus on software that is relevant to his or her own teaching position. 3 credits Special Issues: Digital Video (CPED 5402) In this course students work with digital video cameras learning to edit on both platforms using computer non-linear editing programs, and then produce a multimedia DVD. Students study ways to use video with children within the classroom. As a result of this course they will be able to integrate video technology in various areas of their classroom. 3 credits Computer Tools for the Teacher and the Student (CPED 5404) Digital cameras, digital photo edting, the use of PDA’s in the classroom and the development of clay animation DVD’s are some of the new tools explored in this class. 3 credits The Teacher, The Web, and Online Education (CPED 5300) This course includes planning and development of web sites, construction of various types of web pages, collection of web-based resources, student-developed graphics, and the development of a personal or school web site. 3 credits Special Issues: Multimedia (CPED 5301) This course teaches students to recognize different multimedia file formats and use them appropriately. It also includes the use of stock photos; building a collection of resources; strategies for planning, reviewing and developing multimedia presentations and the use of multimedia with children both as developers and consumers. 3 credits Understanding, Maintaining, and Diagnosing Computer Hardware (CPED 5302) In this course students will study the history of the development of the microcomputer. They will use basic hand tools to remove and replace internal system components. Activities will include lectures, equipment demonstrations, videos on microcomputer history, lab exercises, and student project reports. 3 credits Methods of Research and Statistics (CPED 5445) This course surveys relevant methodologies for educational research including quantitative, qualitative, and eclectic approaches. Major course goals include conducting educational research in the classroom, using computers in research, and becoming discerning consumers of educational research by other people. 3 credits Final Technology Project (CPED 5450/5455) This course includes completion of a final technology project. The student will learn to determine the need for a particular research project, locate in literature what other researchers have studied, and complete a significant project that is relevant to their work situation. The student will make a multimedia presentation show casing this project. 6 credits total to be completed 3 hours each of Fall and Spring Semesters. 3 credits each course |
