Computer Technology Endorsement
The Computer Technology Endorsement from the State of Ohio allows you to competently integrate technology in your classroom and teach computer classes in applications such as word processing and spreadsheets.
You can also collaborate and share your technology integration knowledge and skill formally or informally with teachers in your building. The Endorsement could be considered by school districts in filling a position for building level technology facilitator.
The Endorsement is added to an existing standard teaching license for K-12.
