Experience a Learning Environment That Supports Future Teachers and Technology
The field of technology is dramatically impacting teaching and learning. Fort Hays State University’s College of Education is committed to creating a community of learners who support that continuous improvement through academic programs and the integration of technology in classroom instruction.
