Examples of Student Created Technology Resources

Throughout the years, students have been challenged to think differently about the way they will approach instruction. After completing required coursework, students are expected to be able to use a variety of information technologies and computer-based technologies to create or manage technology resources.

Samples of instructor selected student work are presented. These samples change often and reflect the variety of skill and expertise of our next generation of teachers: teachers who possess the skill to integrate technology in meaningful and effective ways into the curriculum.
