Welcome CSIT 101 Students!
This site serves as an example for my CSIT 101 students of their final e-Portfolio website.
An ePortfolio is a high-impact educational practice that enables students to electronically collect their work over time, reflect upon their personal and academic growth, and share that work with others, such as professors, advisors, and potential employers. For more information on high-impact educational practice, click here.
We will be working on your ePortfolios throughout the entire semester.
I have been making websites since the 1990s and love sharing my passion for the web with my students.
I'm an experienced Associate Professor with a demonstrated history of working in higher education and the corporate environment. Strong education and technical professional skilled in Web Development, Multimedia, Search Engine Optimization (SEO), Learning Management, Educational Technology, and Course Design.

My hobbies include lifting heavy things at the gym, hiking, cooking, watching cheesy horror movies, and trying to keep up with music (I'm failing miserably).
I live in Perry Hall, MD, with my husband, two sons, Marsh the dog, and Irish the Cat.
