*Curriculum changes are implemented year to year. Above is the 2015-16 MS program. If you are in an older catalog it may look slightly different. Additionally, if you find that you would rather follow the current program instead of an older version we can substitute classes as needed. Contact your advisor if you are interested.
The first class to take is INST 5100. Towards the end of the program you'll take INST 5500 and INST 6930. Other than that, you can take courses in any order. The degree is entirely online assuming you choose online electives. The required INST courses are only offered online. Students can complete the degree entirely from a distance. Alternatively, if you prefer to have some face-to-face time you can select electives that meet on campus. See the Course Schedules to the right for more details.
Student Learning Outcomes
The graduate with a Master of Science in Educational Technology degree will use the knowledge and skills obtained in the program to:
Inspire and participate in the development and implementation of a shared vision for the comprehensive integration of technology to promote excellence and support transformational change throughout the instructional environment.
Assist teachers in using technology effectively for assessing student learning, differentiating instruction, and providing rigorous, relevant, and engaging learning experiences for all students.
Create and support effective digital-age learning environments to maximize the learning of all students.
Conduct needs assessments, develop technology-related professional learning programs, and evaluate the impact on instructional practice and student learning.
Model and promote digital citizenship.
Demonstrate professional knowledge, skills, and dispositions in content, pedagogical, and technological areas as well as adult learning and leadership and are continuously deepening their knowledge and expertise.
Entrance Requirements
Acceptance into the program requires:
three letters from references who can attest to the applicant's professional and academic abilities
one of the following: a 2.75 or higher cumulative GPA or a GPA of 3.0 on the last 60 undergraduate hours.
Applicants who do not meet one of the above must work with the graduate coordinator to design a program and must complete the first 12 hours of that program with a minimum GPA of 3.5 to be accepted. A Bachelor of Science in Education is recommended though not required. Students without a background in Education or Educational Technology will want to work with their advisor to select the most beneficial electives. Students may also be interested in electives in their own content areas.
Note: The MS in Educational Technology does not include teacher certification. Educational technology is not a teacher certification area for k-12 education. Current k-12 teachers may utilize this program to gain credit hours or graduate degree for movement on career ladders, to enhance what they are doing in the classroom. However, if your intent is to teach in a k-12 setting and you do not have teacher certification please talk to our certification office to look at options and additional course work that would be required.
Contact the Graduate School to apply.

Most Likely Your Tax Return Will Be Delayed
by Chris Malone
posted Jan 25 2013 7:35AM
While Congress and the President publicly battled over the fiscal cliff, their delay in finding a compromise means your tax return (and potential refund) most likely will be delayed too. The result of the tax law changes for 2012 from the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, passed by Congress at the beginning of January 2013.. Now the IRS is scrambling to modify deductions, exemptions and formulas on its forms. Considering the tax code has significantly more pages than the Bible, its going to take some time and that pushes everything else behind.
So will your tax return be delayed? The IRS will not be able to start processing returns that include depreciation deductions, passive activity losses, residential energy credits and general business credits until late February or early March because of the need for more extensive form and processing systems changes. This includes taxpayers whose Form 1040 includes a Schedule C for self-employment income and Schedule E for rental income and income from "pass-through" business entities.
Click here for the compete list of IRS forms that will be delayed until late February or early March

Friday Flower Fiesta (2-6-15)—Bromeliads
Spring sprung here in San Diego around January 2.
A sprung spring means that it's bromeliad season.
The best places to see lots of unusual bromeliads are the San Diego Zoo, which is an internationally recognized arboretum and botanical garden as well as a zoo, and the Botanical Building in Balboa Park. 79 more words
Friday Flower Fiesta (1-30-15)—Epiphyllums, the orchids of the cactus world
My favorite flowers are those which are quite complex: orchids and epiphyllums. Epiphyllums often are called the orchids of the cactus world. They actually are succulents, which are basically cactus without thorns; while all succulents are cactus, not all cactus are succulents. 118 more words
Out & About—Manzanita Trail in San Diego's Pacific Ranch Highlands

Because they are not harming the pipe. That is the whole point. They just use more, while others use way less. Why should they pay more to use? Guess I don't understand why they should have to pay more.
said by whfsdude You've falsely made the assumption that bandwidth usage equals costs. A consumer doing 250 gigs during peak hours vs. a user using 2 terabytes during off-peak hours. The user doing 250 gigs is going to consume the most bandwidth.Network engineers (hopefully) design networks to handle the peak traffic load which says nothing about the amount transfer, but rather transfer w/time period.

If you are going to do it that way than it should be like a utility. But the meter they use has to actually work properly and be regulated.

Hungry for more?
Lack of cafeteria, food options leave students in nutritional limbo
English professor Rafaella Del Bourgo won first, second and third place in the Maggi H. Meyer Memorial Contest presented by the Bay Area Poets Coalition on Feb. 2. George Morin / The Advocate
Students at Contra Costa College have a large list of restaurants available to them when lunchtime rolls around. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these options are off campus.
A hungry student at CCC who wants to eat on campus has three choices - Subway, Three Seasons, or buying snacks at the Bookstore. Lines in the Bookstore, lines at Subway and the large rush of students into Three Seasons and the Express Café illustrate the desire for, and the necessity for, campus food options.
Although students eagerly eat at the restaurants on campus, variety is high on the list of student demands.
Psychology major Kilber Molina said, "I eat at Subway probably two times a week, and it's a fair price, but I'd really like to see more options."
Ronald Argueta, an automotive technology major who also eats at Subway twice a week, said, "The Subway is pretty much the same as it is everywhere, but the price is a little higher. I'd really like to see more places to eat on campus."
The lack of options on campus can be traced back to the old cafeteria that existed before the demolition of the Student Activities Building.
Director of Business Services Mariles Magalong said that when the college was originally accepting bids for the contract to provide food for the campus, one of the requirements was that any vendor interested in selling food must use their own money to set up the cafeteria. The restaurant that would service the campus would be responsible for making sure everything was up to code and sanitary.
"When the vendors were informed of the expenses they would have to incur in order to operate on campus, most of them completely backed out," Magalong said. "In the end, only Subway and another vendor were interested, and Subway's prices were much less expensive."
Before construction began, Subway generated a small revenue stream for the college through a commission of their profits.
Though Subway continues to serve the college, now that construction has relocated the Subway on campus to the small, modular truck near the Bookstore, that revenue stream has dried up.
"We extended Subway's contract to the end of construction," Magalong said. "A part of their contract, though, is that we would forgo the commission if they provided the capital for the truck themselves."
This decision was made in order to continue to provide students with a options on where to eat on campus.
When construction finishes in three years, students at CCC could have a much different outlook on eating on campus.
When construction ends, Three Seasons will be located in the new cafeteria, which will also have room for two other vendors to sell food to students, Magalong said.
"When the new cafeteria opens we will have to redo the bidding process, to see who can operate on campus," she said.
Business administration major Ben Martin said, "I was surprised they had a Subway here, but I never eat on campus."

SECTION 9 ANNUAL GIVING The purpose of the Annual Giving Program is to generate annual, on-going support or colleges, departments, programs, special projects and scholarships, as well as to generate unrestricted support. This is accomplished by developing and nurturing a habit of giving among alumni, faculty, staff and friends of the University. Each year, a University-wide annual fund plan is developed to identify overall annual giving goals, objectives and strategies for the next fiscal year, consistent with the University's strategic plan. The annual fund plan consists of: Direct Mail Telemarketing Online giving programs Faculty and Staff Campaign 9.1 Planning and Coordination Coordination between the Office of Development and the individual colleges is critical. To facilitate this coordination, the Office of Development has the following procedures: 1. The University-wide annual fund plan will be developed each year by the Director of Annual Giving Programs in cooperation with the Office of Development. This plan will identify overall annual giving goals, objectives and strategies for the next fiscal year, consistent with the University's strategic plan. 2. The plan will be submitted to the Vice President for Institutional Advancement prior to the end of each fiscal year for inclusion in the University-wide comprehensive fund raising plan. 3. The major cost of the general direct mail, telemarketing and online giving programs, excluding specialized brochures and other materials, will be covered by the Office of Development with assistance from the UT Foundation. 4. Samples of all annual giving letters, brochures and other materials will be maintained by the Director of Annual Giving Programs. 5. All business reply envelopes shall use the UT Foundation's lock box address on the outside. 6. All annual giving campaign material, including college, program or organization focused campaigns shall contain a reply device with the name, address and phone number of the UT Foundation and an appeal code printed on the form. 7. Data changes resulting from annual giving activities shall be recorded on the development information system by the UT Foundation staff and, by prior arrangement, the annual giving staff. 8. The number of records in the data base shall be reconciled on a quarterly basis to ensure consistent reporting on the number of alumni, friends, etc. in total and by college and/or department. 9.2 Solicitation All direct mail, telemarketing and online giving programs shall be coordinated by the Office of Development through the Director of Annual Giving Programs, based on University-wide and specific college/program plans. 9.3 Acknowledgments All gifts to the annual giving program will be received, recorded and reported by The University of Toledo Foundation based on its internal procedures and processes. Initial acknowledgments will come from the Foundation. All University units are encouraged to acknowledge gifts as well. 9.4 Recognition All gifts to the annual fund of $300 or more will qualify for Foundation Partners recognition as it is currently structured or as it may be altered or changed in the future. 9.5 Assessment The Director of Annual Giving Programs will be responsible for evaluating all annual giving programs on an on-going and year-end basis. College and/or program representatives will be encouraged to participate in this evaluation process. 9.6 Procedure for use of the Alumni & Development Call Center The University of Toledo's automated call center was established in 2004 and utilizes CampusCALL software in conjunction with the UT Foundation's Ascend database. The main purpose of the call center is to raise funds for The University of Toledo, its colleges, departments, programs and scholarships. Phone calls are conducted by paid student callers and occasionally by volunteers, who contact alumni and friends of the University. The Alumni & Development Call Center is currently in use during Fall and Spring semesters, Sunday through Thursday evenings, as well as some daytime shifts, excluding university breaks. When the call center is not being used for its primary purpose of fundraising for The University of Toledo, the room and/or the Annual Giving staff may be available for other types of Phonathons. Priority for use of the call center is established by the Annual Giving Office and is as follows: 1. Fundraising – Annual Fund, Colleges, Departments and Programs, Scholarships, Athletics. 2. Alumni Relations – event attendance, ticket sales, membership. 3. Other uses – i.e., student events, enrollment services, etc. The Associate Vice President for Development will make the final determination for the use of the call center, in consultation with Annual Giving staff. Affiliated Groups Groups affiliated with The University of Toledo wishing to use the call center must submit a written request to the Annual Giving office at least two weeks prior to the desired calling dates. Written requests should include: Purpose of calls Target audience (must be within Ascend database) Desired start/end dates Information to be used in scripts and training of students. Groups not affiliated with The University of Toledo are responsible for the costs of the following: Student wages Local and long distance calling charges Wear and tear of equipment A member of the Annual Giving staff will coordinate calling. A member of the group requesting the Phonathon must be present at all calling sessions to answer questions, provide follow-up, etc. Non-Affiliated/External Groups Groups not affiliated with The University of Toledo are not able to use the automated call center due to the specialization of our calling software. The CampusCALL software requires that only records held within the Ascend database can be loaded. It is also important to note that the call center does not house manual phones, nor can manual phones be provided. All phone lines are connected to computers. The Annual Giving Office is willing to assist groups in the following ways: Advice in establishing a phone solicitation program Assistance in developing materials and scripts Assistance in training of callers (if time allows)
