My EdTech Journey

connecting student actuation and student knowledge

Educational technology combines my technology and extensive pedagogy practices. I believe we are just at the beginning of what educational technology can provide. I have focused on adult and young adult education methodologies. Teaching English empowers people to communicate, have their voices hear, and contribute back. This site represents a green fruitful path filled of commitment to serve my students and hopefully make a difference one minute at a time. Feel free to browse the offerings of this fully available site. Make yourself at home and hopefully you will find something you like. The site was released to showcase my work through the Boise State University EdTech program.

Service

My service includes currently supervising a student speech club, presenting by invitation to student groups, and looking forward to making small and valuable contributions to help out when I can. For professional service, I also review conference abstracts, volunteer, serve immigrant communities, develop curriculum, and maintain committee service.
