Communication, Computing and Technology in Education (CCTE) is at the forefront of the educational technology field. Internships with CCTE emphasize the importance of bringing together effective pedagogy and practical application in the real-world. CCTE interns can exert control over their educational process through applied learning and scholarships.

Interns work on a one-on-one basis with a CCTE internship coordinator, who serves as a liaison between the intern and the supervisor at the placement company. Prior to the commencement of the internship, the intern and coordinator work together to design a plan and meet regularly throughout the semester to talk about coursework for the internship.

The scope of CCTE's new media development efforts includes:

K-12 Schools – CCTE partners with both private and public schools in New York City, giving students a wide range of internship opportunities in K-12 schools, as well as opportunities for professional development, and curriculum support.
Project Development - This area of work involves the creation of interactive, web-based, and instructional media that model effective educational design in all sorts of media environments. Our premier projects include CTELL (http://ctell.uconn.edu/home.htm) and an upcoming interactive educational website, “Sculpture with Richard Serra,” for the Joy2Learn Foundation (http://www.joy2learn.org)
Research – CCTE is at the forefront of instructional technology, communication, and computing. Research internships run the gamut of all three disciplines, including television, computers, interactive media, instructional media, educational change and reform, media literacy, media education, new media, and many others. Research internship involves in-depth reflection and study and work to integrate research methods, which are taught in courses in the CCTE program and in courses throughout Teachers College.
Evaluation - Educational projects and products for K-12 education, at the university level, and in the private sector are evaluated using various techniques and strategies.

The CCTE Internship Program is intended to be an Opportunity for students to do the following:

Gain practical knowledge of their prospective fields

Work with practitioners, researchers and developers in the development of innovative and improved pedagogical approaches with the use of new technologies

Acquire new knowledge about the use of new technologies in reforming education through research, discussion with other interns, and colleagues in the areas mentioned above
