Hey everyone my name is Chance Davis. As of this course I am now in my second term at LSU. I am currently an english teacher over in Korea and I am using this degree program as a way of gaining a better understanding of certain things and improving my career options.

I'm on the Master program over at LSU for Educational Technology. I am on this journey in hopes of it advancing me as a professional and giving me more options. I've always been fond of technology use in everyday life and found the aggressive use of it in educational spaces and workplaces as an interesting area to work on. I have my own specific goals in and out of the educational circuit and I hope that my time here at LSU helps equip me with the knowledge and tools required to get me closer to what I want.

My name is Nikole Todd and I am a graduate student at Louisiana State University pursuing a masters degree in Educational Technology. I graduated from Kansas State University in 2015 with my bachelor's degree in secondary education. I was born and raised in Kansas City, Kansas and still call it home today. I have five years of teaching experience as a theatre and public speaking teacher at Kansas City, Kansas Public Schools.

What has driven me to pursue an advanced degree in educational technology, you may ask? The answer is simple: Covid changed our lives in ways we never thought possible, and it sparked my interest in learning how technology impacts the educational experience for students, parents, teachers, and administrators.

I started my educational career in 2019 as a teacher at Prairieville Middle School, when it ended early due to Covid. The next year, I was transferred to the brand new Bluff Middle School, opened to accommodate the burgeoning population in Prairieville. After three years at Bluff, I wanted a change and moved to a school closer to home and a TAP school, Gonzales Middle School.

During my time at Bluff, I completed a degree that helped me as a science teacher, a Masters in STEM. During the program, I did not learn as much as I wanted to about technology, which is why I am seeking a Masters in Ed. Tech. After this, I plan to pursue Distance Teaching.

My name is Mark Hanan and I am a lifelong resident of northern Arkansas. I spent 16 years working in the IT industry. I spent a lot of that time in network operations for an internet service provider. After that, I got a corporate IT job maintaining computer and phone networks inside of a large call center. After so many years in IT, I wanted a change. I was allowed to leave IT as a technician and begin teaching computer networking classes at a community college. Being a tech nerd by hobby, I was immediately fascinated with using VR as a teaching tool, personalized learning software, adaptive learning methods, and everything else ED Tech. Since I had heavily familiarized myself with learning management systems, I had to opportunity to move into a newly opened space in Ed Tech/Instructional Design during the pandemic. While I still adjunct a couple of computer network classes, I am happy to be working with faculty offering support and creative ways to use ED Tech.

I am currently At LSU working on a master's degree in education technology. My overall goal when finishing this program is to put my newly learned skill to use and reenter the private sector by working for an ED Tech company.

I currently live in the town of Hoxie Arkansas and work at Arkansas State University - Newport. I am very much an outdoor person. I enjoy fishing and hiking. I am also an avid sci-fi/anime nerd and board gamer. Fortunately, my daughter is as well. It gives me a chance to spend a lot of time with her when I am not working.

I have always been passionate about the intersection of education and technology, and my academic journey has been driven by a deep-seated desire to leverage technology to enhance the learning experience.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I am part of our school's IT Committee, where I have the opportunity to collaborate with like-minded staff who have a goal of improving technology and its capabilities within our school community.

Outside of the classroom, I enjoy spending time with my Frenchie pup Gus, as well as any activity that takes me outdoors, which provides a refreshing break from my work and studies.

Hello everyone! My name is Gregory Renoud and I am pursuing a Masters of Arts degree in educational technology at LSU.

I originally come from Long Beach, NY which is a suburb of New York City. I went to LSU as an undergraduate to study journalism and played saxophone in The Golden Band From Tigerland. I met my wife in the marching band and in 2016 we moved to Houston and have lived here since. We don't have kids but we do have a demon living in our house, better known as a cat.

Currently, I am a high school math teacher at Tompkins HS in Katy, TX. I am in my 8th year teaching. In those years I've taught Algebra 2, advanced Geometry, and Discrete Math.

Previously, I worked as a television journalist. I worked at WAFB and WBRZ in Baton Rouge and Fox26 in Houston. My primary jobs were to gather content, write scripts, and edit videos.

The highlight of my teaching career was when I was named our campus's math teacher of the year for the 2020-21 school year because I took a leadership role in creating virtual classrooms during the Covid-19 pandemic. I taught myself everything there was to know about Zoom and came up with best practices for teachers on my campus. This jump-started my desire to know more about technology in the classroom and how I can use technology as a tool to make my class a more effective learning environment.

This degree program has helped me develop my technology skills from both a practical and a theoretical standpoint. Before this program, I had always been comfortable using technology myself, but I have never felt confident using it as a tool to teach others. Now I feel like I can use technology to deliver information in creative and effective ways both to students and to other educators in a professional development setting.

I plan to use the knowledge I gained from this program to enhance my course, using the technology to solve more authentic problems and encourage collaboration among the students. I hope that this will give them the tools they need to become lifelong learners.

My name is Cliora J. Newbold and I am from the beautiful islands of The Bahamas and this is my fifth semester of my Masters in Educational Technology. It is my belief that the only way we as a nation can continue to grow is for us all to continue to embrace the positive impact technology has on education. I currently work as a LMS Administrator with oversight for all things technology, this opportunity was given to me by my Director who took a gamble on me. I have no prior experience in LMS or technology but I love learning new things. At the time I was responsible for Recruitment and Admissions and the position did not exist, however, students needed to be enrolled in Blackboard, so I took the opportunity.

As a young woman living in a Developing Country, I have been exposed to technology in ways that my fellow countrymen haven't, due to the lack of awareness, accessibility, and training. The COVID-19 pandemic opened my eyes to the lack of technology and exposure in The Bahamas. The Ministry of Education under the leadership of the Minister, had to find ways to continue to teach the youths of the nation through technology that was little to none existing and lack of infrastructure to support.

As I sit here struggling to complete assignments for my various courses due to the lack of internet infrastructure and electricity infrastructure, comteplating just giving up and throwing in the towel, I remember what my Director (mentor) always says "Remember your WHY!". So this experience continues to strengthen my

WHY! Why did I start? Why I will continue! My leadership philosophy (My WHY) is to bring the world to The Bahamas by providing awareness, accessibility, high-quality, and adequate technology training.

Geux Tigers! Good Luck to each and every one of you!

Hello and welcome to my Digital Portfolio for ELRC 7525. My name is Stewat Felkel and I am an Educator in Northeast Louisiana. I graduated from ULM in 2004 with a Bachelors of Music Education. I worked as a band director for 13 years before transitioning first to core classes, ie Social Studies, and then into technology driven courses. Currently I teach Quest for Success, Digital Media and Guitar.

I was blessed to be one of the founders of my school's Digital Media program which began as a way for the school to maintain support of and involvement in students' lives during the pandemic. Due to the success that the school saw in the program, the administration decided to add additional courses to support the desire students had to be a part of such an amazing program. This program focuses on the use of technology to film, edit, and produce online content. Our students livestream a school news broadcast daily that they create, from interviews to writing scripts. This program has been so successful that we have been able to forge a partnership with the education department at the University of Louisiana at Monroe to film their Educators Rising events, including the 2024 state convention.

I also serve as a STEM teacher focusing on 21st-century job skills. This course is 100% web-based and teaches students such skills as website creation, graphic design, social media marketing, LinkedIn skills, and so much more.

Last year I was asked by our administration to start a guitar program for students who might be interested in music but traditional school programs such as band or choir. We immediatally saw a massive interest with roughly 10% of the school body signing up. For the next year we anticipate doubling the size of the program. This is one of only two guitar programs in my district and the only one at the middle school level.

In my copious free time I also teach CPR classes, drive buses, help coordinate school events as well as coach our school archery team. Our archery team is five years old and growing stronger every year. We are one of only a half dozen teams in Northeast Louisiana and the only middle school program. This year we finished in 10th place in the state.

My name is Rachel Peak and I live and teach in Covington, Louisiana (an hour east of Baton Rouge and an hour north of New Orleans) with my husband of 25 years, two sons (21 and 17), and two labs. I earned my undergraduate degree in civil engineering from LSU and worked as an engineer for a few years before making a career change into education. I am now entering my 24th year in the classroom, having previously taught Algebra I, Algebra II, Geometry, Physical Science, and Physics. Next year, in addition to teaching AP Computer Science Principles, AP Computer Science A, and PLTW's Civil Engineering and Architecture courses, I will be stepping into a new role as my school's first Instructional Coach.

This course is timely for me as I step into my new role as an Instructional Coach. I will be responsible for providing orientation and mentoring for our new teachers, as well as support for returning faculty. I look forward to learning from each of you!

Best - Rachel

Hello! My name is Natalie Soto and I am a high school German and Spanish teacher in a suburb of Chicago. I started my journey as a teacher pretty early on. As a young kid, I had no confidence, thought I was stupid, and certainly didn't feel like I fit in anywhere.
