Biography:
Hello from the Sunshine State. I’m proof that education has no geographical boundaries. I'm the
instructor for your course as well as being a colleague and fellow lifelong learner.
I'm excited about working with you and sharing my enthusiasm for Online Learning. My personal goal
for this course is to help you explore how online education can be leveraged to reach learners and to
challenge your preconceptions about online learning.
My course philosophy is that we are learners together—and that’s not
just a cliché for me. I expect to learn from you (I’m excited about that)
and expect each of you to learn from each other. I have instructor
responsibilities, but I see my role more as a coach and facilitator. I want
my students to take control of their learning and push boundaries.
Before I moved to Higher Ed, I taught 34 years in public education. In my
“Final Four” public years, I was the HS librarian, the Technology Coach,
and then the Graduation Project Online Instructor, all for Peters Twp SD.
In my career, I have been a HS English and journalism teacher, a
restaurant owner, a presenter at educational conferences, a community
college reference librarian and an online professional development
instructor.
At Waynesburg, I teach EDU518 (Effective Online Strategies), EDU505
(Intro to Ed Tech) and EDU508 (Contemporary Issues in Technology). I
currently serve as the office manager/bookkeeper for my husband’s
company. Now and then, I do educational consulting work such as
grant evaluations, essay scoring, etc. I like to be busy.
When I'm not working, I read and travel. If I had more time, I would cook. As it is, I settle for reading
cookbooks and eating in restaurants. After a lifetime as a Pittsburgher, I moved first to Austin, Texas,
and now reside in Florida. I love that technology lets me teach anywhere at any time.
Terry
