Technology Vision for Intern
Teacher Alternative Certification Program:
Each candidate will complete approximately
300 hrs. of program training, 30 hrs. of classroom observation and
coursework, 24 hrs. of which will be concerned with technology and its
application in the modern classroom. This will include four major areas of
instruction: Hardware, Software, Peripherals, and Internet Connections. The
coursework for interns will provide them with an introduction to
instructional technology appropriate for young children and adolescents
along with applications of such technology according to the LONG RANGE TECHNOLOGY PLAN adopted in 2006 by the
Texas Education Agency. Examples of computer-based instructional tools that
support interactive learning will be learned. The technology training
provides a conceptual framework for understanding the design of multimedia
courseware as well as the opportunity for hands-on experience with a
variety of software packages and peripherals. Therefore, interns will be
required to have the following:
1) Jump drive, CD-ROM-R or CD-ROM-RW, USD
card reader, or any optical or flash memory peripheral for the purpose of
data and document transfers
2) Daily access to the internet (including
weekends)
3) Access to Windows or Apple Office 2003,
2007, Vista or Windows 7; Adobe Acrobat Reader, and other productivity
software
3) Access to digital camera, digital
camcorder, scanner, MP3 player/recorder, microphone, headphone or speakers,
in conjunction with computers with Windows XP (any version), Vista (any
version), or Windows for Apple (any version)
4) "Blackboard" account, email
account, and daily access to email
5) Personal wireless laptop is strongly
encouraged! ITACP has the broadband strength that enables up to 400 laptops
to be online wirelessly at the same time.
