  Technology Requirements for the Special Education Masters LD and ASD courses
  

1. High speed internet access, with the capability to access the Internet at least every other day (preferably every day).

2. An internet connection that permits you to access a wide range of Internet sites (including YouTube) without restrictions and that does not limit you to a particular browser. (See Item # 3 below.)

3. Access to the Angel courseware system at MSU.  Visit: http://help.angel.msu.edu/?referer=https%3A%2F%2Fangel.msu.edu%2F to learn about how your computer needs to be configured for Angel.  In particular, note that Angel works best with the Firefox browser.  You may need to download this browser.  Also, note that you’ll need to download Flash and Adobe Reader.

4. If you haven’t used Angel yet, please start to become familiar with the courseware system by visiting: http://showme.angel.msu.edu/

5. The capability to record sound on your computer (which may mean a microphone and/or software, depending on your computer)

6. A webcam (does not have to be an expensive one) for participating in course discussions.

7. Install and use a virus detection and repair software package, and back up your work regularly.

8. We highly recommend that you have the most recent version of Microsoft Office on your computer.  We will often return papers with comments and edits, and many of us post documents in PowerPoint and Word formats. You may be able to read these documents in older versions of Office, or in other software programs, but it will be your responsibility to convert them for use in other software programs.

9. We also highly recommend that you have your own digital video camera.  You will be required to videotape your teaching and submit digital videos in your practicum and internship classes.

Individual courses may have other requirements, e.g., Skype.  The instructor of a course will let you know if you need other technology and/or programs.
