Education Technology: A Master's Degree Can Help Advance Your Career

For those already working in education, a master's degree in educational technology can expand your career opportunities and launch you into the future. You can learn how to incorporate technology into your classroom and how to teach students to better use today's, and maybe tomorrow's, technology themselves. Coursework typically includes:

• Learning in virtual worlds
• Online teaching and course design
• Technology integration into the classroom
• Theory and skills of multimedia development
• Web design
• Web-based video and flash

If you're going to teach about technology, what better way to learn than by using that technology yourself? Earning an online degree can include using blogs, wikis, desktop conferencing, learning management systems, and virtual worlds. Having gone through an online university yourself, you may be better able to explain it to your students. And if you plan to teach online, you know what it's like to experience it from the other side.
