Teaching with Technology Certification
Program Description
The Teaching with Technology Certificate (TWT) is a non-credit certificate showing that a graduate student instructor or teaching assistant has demonstrated the innovative use of technology in teaching. In this program, certificates are awarded by individual departments based on both educational and subject matter criteria.
The TWT program allows you the freedom to choose the training and timeline that best suits your goals; there are no required courses.
As a TWT program participant, you create a Web-based portfolio showcasing your knowledge, skills, achievements using technology for teaching. The portfolio is then reviewed by a committee within your academic unit. Once the portfolio is approved, The Graduate School awards the certificate. This portfolio is very individualized and is a representation of the philosophy, knowledge, accomplishments, and competencies of its creator.
Program Goals
The goals for the Teaching with Technology program are to:
- Expand and validate the teaching with technology skills of graduate teaching assistants.
- Increase technology-assisted innovative teaching strategies.
- Increase marketability of teaching assistants for professions in higher education, business and the public sector.
Students who
are planning to participate in the TWT program should notify the French and Francophone Studies department representative Dr. Celeste Kinginger.
