Welcome to Technology in Education

The Lesley University Technology in Education (TIE) program's primary focus is on the use of computers and other technology in support of student learning, accommodating the full range of learning styles and special needs, and fully integrating technology into the curriculum. Courses challenge students to reflect on classroom practice and identify ways to use technology effectively and with vision. Computers are used to organize data, promote collaborative problem solving, encourage learning and communication in a global context, develop models, conduct research, and support the creative process.

The program also addresses ways in which technology has an impact on wider school issues. This includes administrative uses such as record keeping, planning and budgeting; professional development for teachers and administrators; and, very importantly, ensuring equity of access and use.
