Hello! My name is Sheri and I am currently an instructor for elementary education majors at two universities in North Dakota. I am also working on my PhD. In August I passed my written and oral preliminary exams, so now I am ready to research. My research will be centered on communication using mobile technologies between students and teachers.
I was an elementary teacher for 15 years before moving to higher education where I began by teaching Microsoft Office products to business and health majors at a community college. I then moved to teaching entirely online as a general education instructor and elementary education instructor. I found myself continually reinventing the courses that I was teaching to make them more user friendly and collaborative, through this reinventing I became an instructional designer by trade before becoming an instructional technology specialist at MSUM in Minnesota. I worked with faculty on how to design a course that could be tested through quality matters. While working at MSUM I found that I really wanted a PhD in education and technology, thus I went back to school once again.
I recently taught my Education Technology students how to blog and realized that I have not blogged for quite sometime. I think school has something to do with time and extras :) Now, I am ready to begin blogging about my favorite musings...my students and my teaching at the University level. So, stay tuned for stories, thoughts, and ponderings from a new professor who is trying to figure out how to best reach her students.
