Mission for Technology
The technology mission of Murray State University College of Education is to incorporate technology into every aspect of the educational process, which will ensure life-long learning by
Providing the technology tools necessary to implement the technology mission, goals, and objectives of the College of Education
Providing electronic access to local and global information sources for faculty, students and staff
Providing the comprehensive training and support to enable faculty and students to meet the mandates of the Kentucky New Teacher Standard IX as well as NCATE and other national and international standards
Supporting the complete integration of technology into the teaching/learning environment
Fostering creativity and competence that will promote self esteem and diversity
Encouraging and expanding communications through a strong learning community
Ensuring accessibility and commitment to deal with current and future needs
NCATE, National and State Standards
The technology goals defined in this technology plan must ensure that the mission of the College is addressed. It has been the determination of the College to ensure that the mission, goals and objectives reflect state and national standards as well as NCATE recommendations for successful implementation of technology into education programs. NCATE defines technology use as being “What candidates must know and understand about information technology in order to use it in working effectively with students and professional colleagues in the delivery, development, prescription, and assessment of instruction; problem solving; school and classroom administration; educational research; electronic information access and exchange; and personal and professional productivity.” In order to implement state and national standards and meet the NCATE definition of technology use:
Provisions must be made for acquisition of hardware and software.
Faculty must have the knowledge and skills to incorporate and model appropriate technology into teaching.
Technical support and professional development must be available.
Faculty and staff must assess and implement technologies that address continuous improvement processes.
The College of Education must reward individuals for success, promote productive partnerships and encourage the development of learning communities.
