As an Instructional Designer at Bergen Community College, I lead workshops and coach faculty in usage and troubleshooting strategies for online learning technology.
I tutored high school seniors in Algebra, Geometry, SAT Prep, and college placement exams.
As a High School Algebra Teacher I have used creative techniques to incorporate technology, color and visual effects into my lessons. I have created workshops that empower Math Teachers in integrating technology as I have. My goal is to simplify the lesson delivery for the instructors while engaging the students.
My workshops focus on innovative web applets to help developmental students visualize Mathematical concepts. For my Master’s thesis, I researched and documented the impact of these online applets on learning. More than 80% of the students I surveyed felt that these activities helped them by reinforcing concepts presented in the classroom. I am currently preparing my materials for online learning via Moodle.
Foot Note:
My experience in the software industry combined with my experience as an educator has given me a unique perspective. I have always been fascinated by and fluent with technology. As a Tech Rep, I helped my clients decipher technical jargon, configured their networks, programmed their database applications, setup software demos, prototypes, and benchmarks. When I left software sales, I taught and developed curriculum for Chubb Computer Services. This led to my segue-way into teaching High School and College.
