What can I do with a masters degree in educational technology?
This is a broad degree and can open doors in many fields, i.e. K-12 teaching, higher ed, military, medical, and business. I’d say it’s for those who enjoying connecting with people, understanding their needs, and giving them direct and clear learning solutions.
An interesting facet of this field, at least to me, is the use of games and play in the instructional method. Educators have an opportunity now to tap into the huge popularity of computer games as educational tools. Just look at what Nintendo is doing. Programs like Brain Age for the DS are just the tip of this iceberg. I think if we can turn learning into a game like experience, we’ll overcome resistance and convert more people into lifelong learners. Finally, it will be important to not allow the rapid development of technology to eclipse the fundamental goals of teaching. In other words, it’s the message, not the medium.
I think the best overview and introduction to the field can be had by reading the following book-
Trends and Issues in Instructional Design and Technology (2nd Edition) (Paperback)

What is the education requirement difference between a neuropsychologist and psychologist?
I was wondering, what is the difference between the education needed to become a neuropsychologist vs. a psychologist? I know there is obviously a difference, and I’d lie to know how much more education one needs to be a neuropsychologist. Are there more science-based classes that need to be taken? I want to be a neuropsychologist, but I don’t know how much more I would have to do in school. If it’s as much as a doctor, then I definately won’t. Thanks so much.
The training is different. You want to find a school that has a neuropsychology specialization and ensure that you take classes on physiological psychology, neuroanatomy, neuropsychological testing, and psychopharmacology.. You should also obtain a predoctoral internship in neuropsychology that is APA or CPA accredited. After you graduate, you will need a postdoctoral neuropsychology residency or fellowship.

What kinds of classroom activities would you do to help the children learn about lenape indians?
What kinds of classroom activities would you do to help the children learn about lenape indians?
Here is a web-site that might offer some additional information http://www.bigorrin.org/lenape_kids.htm. You might contact the Boy Scouts of America office near you as the Order of the Arrow (OA) uses the Lanape as one of the basis for their ceremonies and many members have made costumes in the style. The OA members might be able to show your students some simple arts and crafts for use in the classroom.
How does genetics contrbute to other areas of technology?
Like how did /does genetics play a role in the improvement or devopment of technology. I need an answer to how genetics helps technology not technology helping genteics.
Though they look different, many genetics problems are also long standing problems in mathematics. Many of the solutions that have been developed for genetics problems have been quickly adapted to solve problems in other fields as well. It is even possible that more engineering problems have been solved by geneticists than genetics problems solved by engineers.
"Genetic algorithms" – an algorithm technique inspired by how organism populations evolve, is now used to solve many other problems, such as risk and threat assessment, scheduling problems, timetables, route planning, etc.
How does teaching preschool play a role in writing?
For my project, I need to explain how teaching preschool/ early childhood education plays a role in writing. I have researched it, but I am not sure how it does. Any suggestions?
I’ve been teaching for 25+ years and I am not sure. I’ve taught prekindergarten for 10 of those years and unless I am here answering questions, or on a pre-K yahoo group, it has not played a role in my writing.
I could make sense of the question if it asked how being enrolled in preschool played a role in a child learning to write, but not as it stands now.
