Horacio Ferriz Ph.D.
Professor of Applied Geology and HydrogeologyWhat will help Technology Teacher/Technology Coordinators increase their earning potential?
Horacio Ferriz Ph.D.: Take some of your basic requirements for a Teaching Credential in your junior and senior years at college (Adolescent Psychology, Foundations of Secondary Education), and make sure to log some hours helping a local STEM teacher in the classroom.
What will help Technology Teacher/Technology Coordinators increase their earning potential?
Joshua Elliott Ed.D.: There are two main ways. You can take on leadership roles in districts. There are technology directors who focus on the more technical aspects, but there are also educational technology leaders in an increasing number of districts. The latter usually have more knowledge about the learning piece as opposed to the technical aspect. Of course, there will always be overlap in these roles.
* If your schedule permits, delivering professional development or coaching teachers in best practices is always a great option for making more money.

What technology do you think will become more important and prevalent for Technology Teacher/Technology Coordinators in the next 3-5 years?
Patricia Rogan Ph.D.: Educators will continue to advance learning in online or virtual contexts and will use a wider variety of e-learning tools and resources to bring the curriculum to life. Schools will ensure that students have access to computers and the internet, and students will be more tech-savvy as a result of increased online learning. Specific technology that enhances and enriches students' individualized experiences with content and instruction will be key. For example, future teachers may want to become familiarized with technology (including assistive technology) that facilitates learning for students with learning disabilities, students who are emergent bilinguals, and students who may need to access applications or software that engages visual, auditory, tactile, and/or kinesthetic learning in a multitude of ways.

How do you envision technology impacting Technology Teacher/Technology Coordinators in the next 5 years?
LaRon Scott: Many states struggle to outline effective virtual plans that can meet the needs of students with disabilities. The pandemic has likely worsened concerns for areas that do not have access to high-quality internet. I do think that higher education programs will need to evaluate how technology will play a role in training future special education teachers. A great majority of teacher education programs do not incorporate virtual learning/training for teacher educators.
