This project, collaboratively undertaken with four others, developed a multimedia presentation to inform prospective students about the Educational Technology program at UTRGV. The presentation defines the characteristics of an educational technologist and emphasizes the value that educational technology graduates bring to the workforce. Both parts of the project, The Client Proposal and The Solution, are hosted on this website.

Project Description: Using the ADDIE Instructional Design Approach, I designed, developed, implemented, and evaluated a Latin-composition project for a specific group of learners, in a specific environment. Building off the Self-Directed Learning Opportunity project in EDTC 6341 for which I got the Apple Teacher certification, I designed a collaborative project for my Latin 2 classes using the Pages app native to their district-provided MacBooks.

Project Description: This Canvas course is a dynamic and interactive Reusable Learning Object (RLO) designed to help American high school Latin students master the formation of the two historic subjunctive tenses in both active and passive voices. This RLO focuses on mastering 1-2 specific skills related to forming the subjunctive, tailored to the needs of individual learners. Through a series of engaging activities, learners will explore the subjunctive mood, including its formation, identification, and nuances. The RLO offers comprehensive explanations, examples, and practice exercises to reinforce understanding and retention before ultimately assessing their skill acquisition.

Project Description: During this e-Learning Module, I developed self-paced lessons for chapters 28-31 of the Ecce Romani II textbook, which also caters to the mixed-level nature of my Latin 2 class. The aim was to provide a flexible learning environment where students can progress at their own speed, with additional support for those who need it and the ability for others to move ahead as they are able. This approach accommodates the varied learning needs and paces of my students effectively, especially as it is a mixed-level course, with about 75% of the students being enrolled in Honors Latin 2 and the remaining 15% being in College-Prep.

Project Description: During this Practicum, I built on my 6325 e-Learning Module to finish developing self-paced lessons for chapters 32, 33, and Review VII of the Ecce Romani II textbook, which are remaining chapters covered during the first quarter of my Latin 2 class. The aim was to provide a flexible learning environment where students can progress at their own speed, with additional support for those who need it and the ability for others to move ahead as they are able.
