FACULTY
The Technology in Education faculty are experienced teachers drawn from a variety of academic backgrounds who are focused on applying technology in educational settings. Core faculty are supplemented by experienced adjunct faculty who bring additional expertise to the program and a strong practitioner focus. The core faculty take academic responsibility for the program, work closely with adjunct faculty, and monitor course syllabi. TIE faculty consult with local educational organizations and school systems on the appropriate use of educational technology in the school curriculum.
Faculty members serve on many educational technology committees and boards, and have conducted and directed conferences and institutes on educational technology. Many have presented work on improving instructional practice with educational technology at local, regional, national, and international education and technology education conferences, including National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, Technology Reading and Language Difficulties, Society for Information Technology & Teacher Education, California CSUN, National Council for the Social Studies, National Science Teachers Association, Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development, National Association for Research in Science Teaching, American Educational Research Association, NECC, and the Massachusetts Computer Using Educators Conference. The faculty have received a number of grants in the area of educational technology, including National Science Foundation grants.
Faculty members have published several books on educational technology and publish in many of the leading technology in education reviews such as Journal of Technology and Teacher Education, Educational Technology Review, Electronic Learning, Leading and Learning with Technology, and The Journal of Computers in Mathematics and Science Teaching.
