Certificate in Teaching with Technology

The unique opportunities that come with employing technology in the college-level classroom can be both exciting and overwhelming. The Certificate in Teaching with Technology, which requires a commitment of approximately 20 hours, offers you the opportunity to:

• Learn about multiple forms of technology that can influence our teaching practices (e.g., learning management systems, assistive technology, smart classroom technology, student/personal response systems, podcasting, streaming video, screen capture software, and videoconferencing).
• Gain insight into special challenges and benefits of using technology in the college classroom.
• Gain hands-on experience by learning a variety of pedagogical approaches to teaching with technology.

General Requirements

• Attend at least six workshops that address teaching with technology and write Workshop Responses (download the workshop review form) for each. The Institute's Teaching with Technology Workshop Series provides one opportunity for identifying workshops that address teaching with technology. The workshops are each an hour long and are held approximately twice each month. Dates and times are published at the beginning of each semester on the TILT Web site at http://tilt.colostate.edu/twt/.
• Complete the Teaching ePortfolio requirements.
