1) Masters in Education, Instructional Technology, George
Mason University, 2000

Instructional Resource Center, George Mason University
My area of expertise is in web/instructional technology
design and development. I teach the Web-based Instructional Tools courses
for the Graduate School of Education and I also teach the faculty at
Mason how to use various technologies and assist them in the integration
of this technology into their courses.
I have had opportunities to explore and use several distance
or online tools in my work as a student and as an instructor. With these
opportunities, I have had a chance to explore why and when such devices
and tools should be used. As a classroom teacher, I use online resources
and tools as part of the total experience. I have been using WebCT, an
online course delivery and management system, since May 99 - as an instructor
(classroom and workshop trainer), student, and a consultant to faculty.
