Hello, my name is Mohammad Alelyani and I have worked in the Educational field for more than seven years as a mathematics teacher in elementary school. I found a lot of benefits from using various kinds of technologies in teaching since I started my job. That made me curious and enthusiastic to learn more about modern technologies.
As a father of two children, I gained a lot of skills from teaching as dealing with young students has taught me techniques that useful also with my children.
By earning a master's degree in IT, I would improve my skills in teaching. I have gained a lot since I joined this program and that would help me to accomplish:
1- Design a beneficial lesson for my student
2- A better understanding of students' needs depending on learners' kinds and their feedback about their preferences.
3- Expand my IT knowledge as I have been exposed to many teaching experiences with my colleagues.
4- Continue to pursue new developments in the educational field and educational technology to keep pace with technological progress.
Since 2016, I had started to apply for a scholarship from the Ministry of Education in Saudi Arabia until I got approval at the end of 2018. Studying instructional technology will meet my aspirations and make me gain more skills for my career. I can see the opportunity to achieve my goals by studying Instructional technology at CSUSB.
The IT program is a beneficial tool that gives the designers and instructors the ability to provide learners with an appropriate learning experience and that is an important goal for me as a teacher who seeks the best for his students.
