My M.Ed. in Learning & Technology focuses on integrating instructional design with technology to create engaging and effective classroom environments. This program strengthened my technical expertise and provided me with the skills and strategies to keep pace with rapidly evolving technology. By applying these tools, I am able to design curriculum and instructional techniques that prepare students for the future.
