How do I become a Media Specialist?

by Laurie Maruski

lease help! I am extremely interested in becoming a media specialist. I have an elementary teacher certification (K- 8)in NJ, PA, and TX. I am highly qualified in Language Arts Literacy.

I have heard that you need to obtain a Masters degree to be a media specialist, however, I cannot find a college that offers that program anywhere! What are the qualifications and where can I go to school to meet those qualifications?

Thank you for your help, Laurie

I am going to start an online training certification program from the University of California this summer. Only 3 more school years and I get to start a second career...I would love to go to work for Apple as a trainer.
