Welcome to the Education Revolution!
Education technology (EdTech) surrounds us in everyday life -- from the simple use of computers in elementary schools, to performing research online, to informal learning "on-the-go" through mobile technology, to fulfilling an online degree program. The use of technology in education may have began as an unlikely experiment ...but today it is a REVOLUTION!
This digital portfolio highlights my work in the Boise State University’s Masters of Educational Technology (MET) program.
Short videos, reflections, and a rationale paper are included to demonstrate mastery of the 2012 Association for Educational Communications and Technology (AECT) standards.
I am a veteran corporate trainer, postsecondary instructor, and a newly certified K-12 teacher and serve student populations where I am best able to harness my 15+ years of industry science, business leadership, and instructional expertise into an authentic, effective, and transformational learning experience for my students.
