Module+8


 * Module:**


 * Description:**

Recently I have completed an Instructional Learning Technology (ILT) certification from Temple University, which has prepared me to use various educational technologies to enhance student learning. The next step in my “digital progression” is developing an understanding of best practice on how to design a curriculum and instructional environment that is enhanced through the use of digital technologies. The University of Akron’s program will allow me the opportunity to work with staff and students to innovate the way that we use technology at the Milton Hershey School.

**Intent**:

I chose the University of Akron because of the quality of the program, the experiences I can share with MHS, and the program's flexibility. This online degree would allow me to work more effectively to help students with different learning styles gain access to the curriculum. The theory, tools and methodology would enhance the way that students perform in my classroom and help in my development as a teacher. This degree would give me an opportunity to give back to MHS and continue to help other faculty members effectively incorporate technology into their classrooms.


 * Impact: **

This program would help MHS take the next step in integrating technology and preparing our students to become responsible 21 st century global citizens. The knowledge gained from this certificate program will have a ripple effect among students and staff, whom I am already currently working with and coaching. It will also help me continue to make an impact on the Educational Technology community!
