INST 4110: Google Educator Prep is a prerequisite for INST 4120: Google Education Trainer Prep. INST 4920: Practicum in Instructional Technology should be taken following other coursework for the minor. Other than that, you can take most courses in any order. Contact your advisor for more information and advice.

We believe that hands-on experience is ideal. At the end of the program, you will complete a practicum at a school of your choice in conjunction with your student teaching or separately prior to this experience. This gives you the opportunity to tie together everything you learned throughout your courses with local experts and real-life scenarios.
