Department of Educational Technology

MISSION STATEMENT

The programs in the Department of Educational Technology at the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University are designed to prepare "change agent leaders" in educational settings who understand and apply technology in ways that positively affect teaching and learning. Educational systems must and will (with leadership) shift from a teacher centered, didactic model to one that focuses sharply upon the learner. This can be purposely enhanced through the thoughtful, planned, and purposeful use of information technologies at all levels for all learners. Our goal is to create such changes using T.E.A.M., our cohort M.S. degree program, and the Electronic Educational Village (EEV), the action arm that links us, our students, and the larger learning communities around us (schools, libraries, museums, nature preserves, businesses, etc.).
