Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology

What is this course about?

The Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology offers the opportunity to study classroom technology in greater depth and breadth. It aims to extend the teaching abilities of the students, create opportunites for critical reflection on practice, and enhance the employment prospects of participants through an innovative use of workplace learning.

The aim of the Graduate Certificate in Classroom Technology is to offer candidates enrolled in undergraduate teacher education programs, the opportunity to undertake a course of study which has a focus on using classroom technology. This course also offers existing teachers, particularly early-career teachers, the opportunity to undertake further study to build their professional knowledge in technology education.

Graduates will be able to:

• Plan, implement and evaluate teaching strategies that incorporate a broad range of technologies and online resources
• Reflect on their practice, and in particular on the integration of technologies and their tools in classroom settings
• Engage in the process of developmental improvement in terms of planning, teaching and assessing using technologies and online resources
• Research their own practice through the use of research methodologies that are appropriate to their own teaching contexts
• Make considered judgements about changes in practice and implement and evaluate these changes with a focus on developing their teaching skills.

Professional recognition

This course enables additional study to be undertaken in a specific content area, but it is not a retraining program and therefore will not have independent accreditation sought with the NSW Institute of Teachers.
