MSC TESOL WITH TECHNOLOGY FOR TEACHING, ST ANDREWS

‘Technology will not replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational" - George Couros.

For me, the emergence of technology in the Education sector reinforces the sentiment that education is the right of everyone in our community. In Islam, education is a central pillar and this is further echoed in the religious texts as the first word of the Quran that was revealed to Prophet Muhammed (peace be upon him) was in fact, ‘read’. With such a command, Muslims have made tremendous contributions to the advancement of their societies in various fields throughout history.

With this rich history to be inspired by, coupled with my own experiences in the teaching field, I intend to embark on an MSc TESOL with Technology for Teaching. This multi-disciplinary program will give me the tools to explore how educational theory can be applied to the design, development, implementation and research of learning technologies.
