Seton Hall University
Among the most common educational buzz words we hear today are “diversified teaching,” “cooperative learning groups,”” instructional differentiation” and most predominately the “infusion of technology” into the learning environment.
Educators sometimes think of “technology” as hardware and software and often confuse these budget lines with “infusion of technology in the classroom”. How mistaken they are! Technology should be considered hands on, vibrant and a vast new resource for researching, participating, teaching, learning and communicating. It is has not only replaced the print media in many vital areas but has added a dimension to research and education that can be both time saving, and efficient as well as providing the most –up to date knowledge in the field.
The utilization of the computer reaches down into the elementary grades and moves up and through to the university experience. Not a single subject is exempt from the efficacy of computer aided instruction – whether it is Science, Math, History, English or any of the Art or Music areas.
With that in mind it is Merriam Webster’s definition of the word tool “as something (as an instrument or apparatus) used in performing an operation or necessary in the practice of a vocation or profession” that best describes Seton Hall University’s on line Education, Leadership, Management and Policy (ELMP) program. The online ELMP program now going into its tenth year, remains as one of the most popular programs in the Seton Hall University College of Education and Human Services.
