Using cutting-edge technology to provide the best preparation

BGSU is the only university in Ohio with Mursion. This virtual reality classroom platform allows students to authentically apply course content to real-world situations like classroom management, individual student interactions and questioning techniques in a safe environment. Students can even experience their first day of student teaching through Mursion. In addition, students have access to GoReact, which allows them to record live lessons and student interactions, then receive time-stamped feedback.

Gain local, national and international experience

Many teacher education students gain one-on-one teaching experience by tutoring local children in Bowling Green through the Aspiring Teachers as Tutors Network, and through our educational camps. Our Teach Afar program provides teaching internships at public schools in Aiken, South Carolina; Aldine, Texas; and Cleveland, Ohio. Through the program, students gain familiarity with educational environments not found in northwest Ohio, preparing them for national opportunities. In the spring semesters of their second or third years, teacher education students have the opportunity to study abroad in Keele, England. This partnership with the University of Keele, established in 1999, gives BGSU students the chance to experience a new culture and complete 15 hours of coursework.
