Educational Technology
Mission of the EDT Program
The mission of the Cerritos College Educational Technology Program is to demystify
the use of technology and help educators create and deliver technologically innovative
programs and curriculums to a diverse student population. This mission is accomplished
through our specialized training courses and certificate program. The majority of
EDT courses are online. Our faculty are technology professionals who are dedicated
to helping educators take charge of their professional development and meet the changing
instructional needs of the 21st century. In achieving our mission, the Educational
Technology Program promotes lifelong learning for teachers, administrators, and staff.
About the EDT Program
The Educational Technology Program at Cerritos College can help you increase your
knowledge of computer-and Internet-based learning tools, give you self-confidence
in the use of technology in the classroom, and enable you to invent new ways to deliver
instruction. The curriculum consists of several one to three-unit courses. The online
courses are designed so you can complete them at a time during the week that is convenient
for you. Each course trains educators and prospective educators in technology and/or
computer software and the overall integration of technology into instructional courses.
Because the courses are part of the Cerritos College credit curriculum, they may qualify
for salary advancement credit or meet continuing education requirements. Please verify
salary advancement with your institution.
