Ed.S Instructional Technology

by John Doe

Jul 22, 2008

Does anyone think that a specialist degree in Instructional Technology would be very helpful to a classroom teacher? Would schools upgrade pay to the 6th year level if a teacher had this degree but was not in a technology related position?

Kim in CA I would think it would be quite useful- especially as far as integration in your own classroom. As far as your pay scale that depends on the policy of your district. If you earn units that can move you over a column, your pay will increase. If there is some sort of a warning that you have to teach in the area you are trained in order to receive an ...See More

Mac Do not get Micrograde. It is from Chariot Software and used to be good. Now, it stinks. You can only use your program on 2 computers, so if you happen to travel and use another computer, you are stuck. Also, they are incredibly rude if you call for help.

smartboard airliner

I have a smartboard airliner that was used only a couple times and then I was moved to a room without a smartboard. Where can I sell the airliner?

PW I assume that you know these can be used without a Smartboard. Our secondary teachers use just the Airliner and a data projector with the SMART software installed on their desktops.

VickyS If you have budget then KidPix is good and I would also recommend Kidspiration. Do you have standard software like Microsoft Office? I would definitely recommended having Word, Excel, Powerpoint & Publisher if possible.

If you don't have budget there are open source options that don't cost anything like TuxPaint & Open Office.
