19. Plan for Future Professional Growth & Development Seeking employment as an Instructional Technology Specialist to create professional development where I could inspire teachers to use technology in their classrooms Another interest is Instructional Design, especially in secondary math education that integrates technology in meaningful ways as well quality distance learning that cover content and engages students and support student learning through a social community Ultimate goal to serve a school or organization that does not have access to abundant computer hardware and software – alternative schools, private schools and/or non-profit organizations Working with disadvantaged, at-risk teenagers to offer different ways to motivate, encourage and excite students in the learning of all content areas
