what is a stic?
Student Technology Integration Consultants (STICs) are the heart of the TITE-N program. Through our PT3 grant, we select 20 pre-service (undergraduate or first-time licensure) teacher education students each year who are willing to make a commitment above and beyond their regular course of study to become STICs.

Why become a STIC?
All STICs will:
• Qualify for the Nevada Endorsement to Teach Computer Applications
• Receive a Certificate of Accomplishment in Integrating Information Technology in Education
• Have their name placed on a list that will go to all of Nevada's school districts publicizing their qualifications in integrating technology in the classroom
• Have personal use of a laptop computer and PDA throughout their STIC experience
• Have an opportunity to complete a total of 12 credits of specialized training in using information technology in education
• Receive an $800 stipend per semester for up to three semesters while participating in STIC activities
• Receive a $1,000 stipend for living expenses if internship is done in a rural Nevada school

What do STICs do?
To be a STIC you must commit to:
• Attend a three-week summer (mini-term) institute relating to integrating information technology into the classroom, in which you earn nine (9) credits
• Complete a three (3) credit online and TMCC lab course on basic computer troubleshooting and repair
• Spend five (5) hours per week assisting College of Education faculty and students in using information technology including a technology seminar
• Do your internship in a technology-rich classroom
