I need to be fully capable of writing w3c compatible web 2.0
websites, or if the schools just need someone to do basic

that I am vastly underqualfied to teach even MS office to
middle schoolers, so even after a MA, it looks like I'm back
to school for another two years!

tech coordinators!! Do you think a second MA is better, or
should I get a few more certs under my belt?

It depends on a district's definition of tech coordinator.
In my district there is a distinction made between the
technicians and the instructional technology segments of the
technology department. The Director of Technology has a
teaching background and is not a programmer or network
expert (although sh...See More
