Web 2.0 Tools in Education
Multimedia in Education
Focusing on the application of productivity tools and web-based resources in educational settings to improve teaching and learning, my group and I specified our project on the use of multimedia in education. We created a great resource for teachers/educators to use when incorporating technology in their classroom or presentation.

Utilizing Technology Course - Haiku LMS
This is the online course I created focused on Utilizing Technology. The course allowed students to explore Web 2.0 Tools that could enhance their presentations and better engage their audience. My course used a flipped-model classroom, giving students the ability to view most of the content at their own pace in their preferred environment. The class gathered for the virtual session where they were able to engage in meaningful conversations about the lesson.

Wicked Problem Project - Web 2.0 Jeopardy!!!
The goal of this project was to find a need within my workplace and create a solution implementing technology while in correspondence with the TPACK (Technological Pedagogical Content Knowledge) model. The problem I identified was the lack of reward system encouraging our users. I focused my solution of the application of game theory, as gamification was not applicable for my project. Due to proprietary information at my place of employment I created a game using the theory my solution needed but on a subject that was applicable, Using Web 2.0 tools to present.

BEER SCHOOL!
Focused on the concept of good and bad design, I designed a website that would educate a specific audience. As I am not a classroom teacher, I got a bit creative with my topic. I decided that the world of craft beer is not known by enough people. I am proud of the informational and intuitive resource I have created for those looking to learn about beer!
