My Courses This Summer

Advanced Teaching with Technologies
This course is provided to prepare working educators to be effective users of technology in their teaching. The class focuses on current technologies and strategies used in today's classrooms and also covers future advances that will likely impact teachers sometime soon. You will leave this course armed with new skills in several computer applications, but more importantly you will leave feeling confident and empowered in how to use technology to enhance your current or future teaching.

Methods of Inquiry
In ED 690, you'll develop the knowledge, skills, and aptitudes (or values) that characterize the competent educational researcher--regardless of the environment in which you might work. In this course, you'll think systematically about inquiry--and how it "fits in" with the instructional design and performance improvement principles around which our EDTEC Master's program is organized. It is inquiry that informs how we design, develop, implement, and evaluate instructional interventions (programs, products, systems, aids) so that we truly meet learner or user needs.

Happy Birthday J!

Wow, you were a big baby! I know you've heard the story a hundred times, but your chest was bigger than your head, which made it just a tad difficult to get you pushed out of there! But all was well in the end. Although sadly, this is the only picture which survives of your birth day, since one of your parental units opened the back of the camera instead of pressing the rewind button, exposing all of the film (yes, back before digital cameras).

So here's a happier picture a few months later.

I sure am glad you came into the world! Love, Mom
