BiographyAs expressed by April Chamberlain, “ Education is evolving due to the impact of the Internet. We cannot teach our students in the same manner in which we were taught. Change is necessary to engage students not in the curriculum we are responsible for teaching, but in school. Period.” For this reason, not only has it been my ambition to facilitate student learning in an innovative environment, but also to encourage teachers to become creative, resourceful thinkers when educating today's students. Because of this passion, I strive to attain the knowledge and competence to assist others in becoming technology innovators. Having been unceasingly driven by my passion for technology, I am preparing to pursue a doctoral degree in Instructional Design and Technology at the University of Memphis beginning Summer 2016.
