Seeing children flourish with computers is a commonality in today’s world. Behind their flourishment though, is someone who has taught them all they know. This person most likely has a love for computers and a strong desire to teach. Are you this person? If so, have you thought about a degree in computer education?
At DSU, we live and breathe technology. Our computer education degree proves it. We embed laptops, smartboards, iPads, 3D printers, data server rooms, and more into our curriculum. You will learn how to grade tests, quizzes, and homework from your computer. The education aspect is highly emphasized as well, so your expertise will range from differentiated learning to coding and cyber safety to content standards. We also offer a K-12 technology endorsement, enabling you to teach computer classes in any grade.
For even more experience, you'll embark on a year-long student teaching residency, providing you with advice and teaching skills.
Educate yourself, educate your students
As with any other education program, it’s vital to understand education fundamentals. Content standards, assessment information, effective communication, and student growth are all areas you’ll become an expert in. Keep an eye out for any changes in technology though, since you’ll be teaching your students the ins and outs of new technologies that pop up.
Once your classroom is up and running, you can open the floor for some major discussion. Coding, cyber safety, robots, software programs…the list goes on and on! Your students are curious about the cyber world and it’s important to provide them with the means they need to succeed.
Don’t forget, it’s as equally important to teach your students how to utilize computers to their fullest extent. Illustrate how they can expand their knowledge in vocabulary, math, science, writing, reading, research, problem-solving and more, by using computers.
Go forth and teach
Graduation means you're ready. We couldn’t be prouder as you embark on your full-time gig. Whether you stay in the education field or transfer to an organization or business, we know you’ll be a pro at incorporating technology into your career and generating interest in computer education.
