Technology Applications EC-12

Texas A&M University's Technology Applications EC-12 Online Certificate Course is your chance to gain technical skills that will put you ahead of your students and train you to use technology in the classroom. Increasingly, teachers must adapt to new technology because their students use the latest programs daily. To hold their attention, and to stay competitive in the job market, you need Tech Apps EC-12 Online. New teachers in Texas are already required to pass Tech Apps I-V on the state certification exam. However, if you are a teacher in your first five years of teaching, your preparation program may not have provided the training you need for the technology-rich world of many Texas schools.

The standards have been developed for inclusion in SBEC-approved educator preparation programs, and they are assessed in the new Pedagogy and Professional Responsibilities test.
