Educational Technology Certificate
Department of Education
Main Line: (650) 508-3701
Certificates in the Department of Education provide a pathway for lifelong learning without the full commitment to a master’s degree. They involve full-fledged academic coursework; however, fewer units are required for completion of a certificate. For those holding a California base teaching credential as specified below, completion of the certificates entitles the candidate to apply for a supplementary authorization on the credential.
Certificate in Educational Technology
The Certificate in Educational Technology qualifies educators to serve as school- and district-level educational technology leaders. Upon completion of the four courses required for the certificate, graduates will be prepared to improve their own teaching practice through the integration of technology, to teach computer and/or technology courses to K-12 students, to engage in the planning and budgeting associated with implementing technology programs (K-12), and to design and implement professional development and mentoring of K-12 faculty in the area of educational technology.
The Certificate in Educational Technology requires 12 semester units (four classes).

Graduates of the Certificate in Educational Technology program may work with the credential analyst in the School of Education and Leadership to apply for a supplementary authorization on their multiple subject or single subject teaching credential for computer applications. This supplementary authorization further qualifies the certificate holder for technology support positions.
Graduates of the Certificate in Educational Technology program may also apply their certificate coursework toward a master's degree in education (M.Ed./MAT) at NDNU.
