After 7 years online I thought it would be useful to reconnect with face to face teaching. It has been a blast! I'm currently teaching educational technology to teaching certificate candidates. Working face to face has renewed my empathy for folks who struggle to master technology as part of the complex process of learning to teach. It's inspiring to be working with young, idealistic people!
This position develops and coordinates online learning initiatives for IMSA's external programs, enabling effective dissemination of professional development and learning resources to educators and students throughout Illinois, the nation and the world.

I wrote and taught several online graduate courses for UNI's online professional development program: Teaching Writing with the Six Traits, Teaching with a Multicultural Perspective, Webtools for Educators. The Online PD program was an entrepreneurial outreach program developed by Joan Vandervelde. In 2003 the program moved to the University of Wisconsin Stout where it thrives to this day.
A guide at Connected University was the learning facilitator for online learning in any given classroom. I taught nearly 30 different online courses for CU. These were online professional development classes for teachers focused primarily on educational technology,
I taught in a variety of public school teaching positions for nearly 25 years. As a language arts and technology teacher I've worked to integrate technology and learning since the very early 80's. I was a district technology director and language arts coordinator. However, I learned the most in classrooms working with kids from 4th grade through high school. I was named district teacher of the year in 1995. This was the same year I was named a Milken National Educator.
