WelcomeWelcome to the Instructional Technology Program at Georgia Southern University. We are happy to
introduce you to our program. This handbook is designed to give you an overview of the various degreeprograms that we offer. While we have included key elements regarding the degrees offered through the
Instructional Technology program, theGeorgia Southern University Graduate Handbook provides complete
program information.
Our M.Ed. degrees offer two K-12 certifications recognized by the Georgia PSC, the school library
media certification and the instructional technology certification. In addition, our M.Ed. Instructional Technology
degree can be tailored to meet the needs of technology specialists and instructional designers in corporate,
military, higher education and district school centers through its non-certification cohort program.
Our Ed.S. program is a research-based degree that guides students through a sequence of courses
that help students conduct applied research in their institutional settings. We also offer a three-course
sequence that leads to the Online Teaching and Learning Endorsement from the PSC.
All of our degree coursework is offered 100% online. Our faculty are fulltime members of the Georgia
Southern University community and national leaders in the field of Instructional Technology. We look forward
to working with you.

Practicum in Instructional Technology
The practicum in Instructional Technology is a 100-hour field placement. Each candidate will locate
three technology centers to complete the required activities. The majority of hours will be spent at one center
while the other two centers will serve as locations for some of the practicum assignments. A full description of
the practicum can be found at theFRIT 7739 Instructional Technology Practicum Handbook. Depending on
the placement and your work situation, candidates might need to take some personal days to complete their
practicum.
Candidates need to have completed the majority of their coursework and all of the required courses inthe program of study. The practicum is intended to be completed in the last full semester of the program of
study. Candidates should take the practicum with, at most, one other course for a total of 6 hours. The
practicum (FRIT 7739) is only offered during the Fall and Spring semesters. Candidates should begin to locate
practicum sites before the semester they plan on taking FRIT 7739. Those candidates who are not currently
teaching in a K-12 school and need to have a placement for their practicum will need to complete forms before
they can obtain a field placement in a school. Information about site placement and links to the required forms
can be found atSite Placement for FRIT 7739.

Special Education Course Requirement
Candidates who are seeking initial certification in the Instructional Technology program will need to complete a
course in Special Education. There are several options possible through GOML (Valdosta State University-
SEAC 5140 or Introduction to Exceptional Children at http://plucredits.com).
Practicum in School Library Media
FRIT 7734 and FRIT 7765 are the culminating experiences in the School Library Media program. Each
candidate will identify three school library media centers, one at the elementary, the middle and the high
school level. The majority of hours will be spent at one center. However, candidates need to plan ahead
(professional days, Fall or Spring breaks, etc.) to complete hours and some assignments at the other two
locations. Additional information can be found at theInstructional Technology Program School Library Media
Practicum Guide.Depending on the placement and your work situation, candidates might need to take some
personal days to complete their practicum.
The practicum is intended to be completed in the last full semester of the program of study.
Candidates need to have completed the majority of their coursework and all of the required courses in the
program of study. Candidates should take the practicum with, at most, one other course for a total of 6 hours.
The practicum (FRIT 7734 or 7765) is only offered during the Fall and Spring semesters. Candidates should
begin to locate practicum sites before the semester they plan on taking FRIT 7734 or 7765. Those candidates
who are not currently teaching in a K-12 school and need to have a placement for their practicum will need to
complete forms before they can obtain a field placement in a school. Information about site placement and
links to the required forms can be found atSchool Library Media Practicum Forms.

Practicum in School Library Media
FRIT 7734 and FRIT 7765 are the culminating experiences in the School Library Media program. Each
candidate will identify three school library media centers, one at the elementary, the middle and the high
school level. The majority of hours will be spent at one center. However, candidates need to plan ahead
(professional days, Fall or Spring breaks, etc.) to complete hours and some assignments at the other two
locations. Additional information can be found at theInstructional Technology Program School Library Media
Practicum Guide.Depending on the placement and your work situation, candidates might need to take some
personal days to complete their practicum.The practicum is intended to be completed in the last full semester of the program of study.
Candidates need to have completed the majority of their coursework and all of the required courses in the
program of study. Candidates should take the practicum with, at most, one other course for a total of 6 hours.
The practicum (FRIT 7734 or 7765) is only offered during the Fall and Spring semesters. Candidates should
begin to locate practicum sites before the semester they plan on taking FRIT 7734 or 7765. Those candidates
who are not currently teaching in a K-12 school and need to have a placement for their practicum will need to
complete forms before they can obtain a field placement in a school. Information about site placement and
links to the required forms can be found atSchool Library Media Practicum Forms.
EportfoliosDuring the practicum (FRIT 7734, 7765, or 7739) semester, candidates will present their final
eportfolios online to the Instructional Technology faculty during a capstone experience. The eportfolios will
contain artifacts from the candidates entire program of study. It is important that candidates keep all of the
projects they have completed throughout the program of study to be presented in their eportfolios. So, while
working through the coursework, a web repository should be constructed as a location to house all course
assignments and projects for future use in the eportfolio.
