Once Upon a Design

A digital story of my journey through the instructional technology program implementation process.


Project Overview - This project is focused on creating an instructional design program to help today’s teachers effectively leverage new technologies for teaching and learning.

Goal - To design a technology-based professional development support to improve the ways in which teachers integrate personalized interactive learning technology into their teaching practices.

"The Why" - Why don't more teachers use technology programs in their classrooms? Do they actually understand how to use them, but just don't? Do the teachers that use technology programs use them effectively? Or, do they need help with properly implementing and intergrating technology programs in their classrooms?
