EHS Technology Initiatives
Today’s students receive much of their information and ideas from the Web. Eleven EHS professors are piloting a means of tapping into that lifestyle by posting audios and videos on iTunes U. The EHS experience will be used to help launch iTunes U at Miami.
The Digital Learning Initiative pilot project launched in the Department of Teacher Education in the 2007-08 academic year will equip students with 21st century knowledge and skills. Future teachers, using wireless laptops, will learn to integrate technology into their classrooms.
While the shortage of Special Education teachers has been acute for years, it has been difficult for working teachers to get the additional certification needed to fill the gap. Miami offers an Alternative Special Education Licensure Program that lets teachers get certified online. The program is the first of its kind in Ohio.
