I am considering going to University of Hartford (Masters in Educational Technology Program) for Technology Education K12. I learned that there is no certification in Educational Technology in Connecticut. One only needs certain experience with technology or masters degree in order to become a tech ed. I was wondering if I was selecting the right school and program for becoming tech ed teacher. I currently do not have any teacher certification or experience. Please help me out!

I was also wondering if Connecticut has a high demand for tech ed teachers, and will i have an easy time finding a job. I searched for teaching jobs and only came up with one opening in connecticut, but it is in the middle of the year. I learned that I will have no problem finding a job, cause there is a shortage in CT, is that right? THANKS
Ruth On the state DOE website, I see a certification code (047) for Tech Ed. along with a Praxis II requirement.

Jennifer LaRosee Check out the program at Central CT State University ~ I've known a few people who have gone through it and it's an excellent program, plus it's cheaper than Univ. of Hartford as it's a public school vs. private.

The Ed Tech teacher teachs woodshop, drafting, etc. Technology positions are very rare and hard to find in CT. Many schools don't have the funding for those positions or programs. Many Library Media Specialists are the "go-to tech teacher." Good luck!
