As my first blog this quarter, I'll introduce myself and explain the dual nature of this blog. I've been an art history instructor for 13 years, teaching full-time at MCC for the last five. I've been involved in many professional activities outside of the classroom including educational technology groups at the college and managing cultural community engagement endeavors such as the South Omaha Mural Project. I earned my B.A. from UNL and my M.A. in art history from Notre Dame in the year two-thous-well, quite a while ago!
I am always excited to apply new technology in my classes. I usually work on a mac, iPad, and iPhone and love to pass out iPads in our experimental "learning studios" at MCC. Although I'm primarily an apple geek, I find it's still easiest to work with Office 2011.
I am taking a class on media authoring this quarter at PSC so that I can learn some new tricks to bring to my students, both in the classroom and online. I am finishing this last class in the series of classes for my instructional technology certificate. The purpose of this blog, while fulfilling the assignments for class, is also going to be linked to our website about the ongoing mural project at MCC. I hope that while reading the blogs, you will find some good examples of multi-media projects, but also learn about the efforts by MCC to beautify Omaha and contribute to the growing mural culture in the metro!
