Print Degree Planner (opens a new window) |

Program Overview

Ideal for current teachers eager to step into leadership roles as technology coaches or integrationists within K-12 schools. You’ll not only deepen your understanding of teaching technologies but also master the art of supporting fellow educators in utilizing digital tools effectively. Explore research in technology integration, change theory, instructional design and learning theory, while expanding your knowledge of technology-infused learning environments. It leads to the Technology Integrationist endorsement in South Dakota and is also appropriate for educators outside of the K-12 realm if you are interested in learning how to leverage technology to support learning and development within your organization. The USD School of Education has been accredited by CAEP since 1956. Learn more at usd.edu/online-TIG.
