My Philosophy

I am passionate about technology integration. I teach and coach adult students who are teachers or administrators how to integrate technology into their educational practice. Learning to to teach and teaching to learn is a reciprocal process.



My Community

As a staff developer, trainer and professor of educational technology, my path guides me to working with school sites and with cadres of learners at National University and at the San Diego County Office of Education. Since 1998, I have primarily taught online, EdTech courses that are required for the California Clear Credential.



My Environment

National University has 27 physical campuses but since 1999, I primarily teach online. My adult students are typical working individuals who are pursuing a Masters of Education in Technology or who are clearing their credential. I take great pride in supervising Masters thesis development for my students.



My Roles and Responsibilities

At National University I am part of a development team working in the area of Advanced Teacher Practices and Advanced Digital Literacy. Over my career, I have worked with the PK-20 community as a professional development coach at San Diego County Office of Education where I have trained over 500 school administrators in integrating technology into their practice.

 

The courses I teach are in the following programs:


Masters of Science in Educational and Instructional Technology

Masters of Science in Advanced Teaching Practices
