THE STUDENT IS THE CANVAS, CREATIVITY IS THE MEDIUM, AND CURRICULUM IS THE TOOL!

As an educator, I believe there is a need for teachers to prepare students to meet the impact of today's technology on the economy and workforce by integrating technology through situated learning environments (SLE). My ultimate goal is to be an Instructional Design and Technology coach. Through coaching, we can guide teachers as they expand their curriculum to include situated learning environments that support higher-order thinking skills. The increased level of support should provide the leverage needed to meet the challenging demands associated with the integration of technology, connecting the learning objectives with practical, real-world applications.
