Instructional Technology Specialist (ITS) Certificate now available through Wilson College
We are excited to announce that there is a new, PDE-approved Instructional Technology Specialist (ITS) Certificate available through Wilson College in conjunction with Eduspire.

The ITS Certificate, consisting of eight pre-defined courses, is designed to enable educators with technology-focused specialization in their schools or districts to become tech coaches and district tech leaders.

The ITS Certificate can be received as a standalone certification or along with the Wilson College Master of Educational Technology degree.

In order to receive the ITS Certificate with the MET degree, the eight ITS courses are taken instead of the customizable MET course track. Two MET Capstone Research and Project courses are added to the eight ITS Certificate courses, which are listed below.


The ITS Certificate can be earned by itself without the MET degree by taking the eight designated ITS courses only.

If you are interested in receiving the ITS Certificate along with the MET, please visit eduspire.org/met for more information.
Registration is also open for Eduspire's  fall courses

From our blog: Make Learning More Inclusive with Microsoft
This back-to-school season, there are more resources than ever for differentiating learning and more tools to facilitate doing so. If you’re a Microsoft educator, many of the tools in your classroom tech toolkit have been updated just in time for the start of the school year.
Incorporate More Writing into the Classroom, Regardless of Content Area
This course is for any teacher of grades 4-12 who wishes to incorporate more writing into their classroom, regardless of subject area or grade level. While refining their own writing skills using the standard writing process model, participants will incorporate various technology tools that support the steps of the writing process. Instructional focus will be on modeling researched teaching of writing techniques, writing and the Common Core, and assessing student writing.
