As an instructor at both the secondary and post-secondary level, I am deeply committed to using the classroom environment to promote inquiry, critical thinking, and inspire a love for learning.
Specifically, I have a passion for using various forms of multimedia to foster and amplify the learning process. Keeping this in mind, my mission as an educator is twofold:
1. To meaningfully integrate multimedia into a experiential, inquiry-based learning cycle.
2. To empower fellow educators to create and share innovative forms of multimedia instruction.
