This e-Dossier was created to demonstrate my capabilities as an expert in Educational Technology. In it, you will see examples of some of the work I created to highlight my ability to think "outside of the box," as well as work that is representative of my creativity. I hope you enjoy it!
In the 21st Century, teaching is changing. The days of "sit and get instruction" are long gone. Today's students need to be engaged in the classroom. Through the effective use of technology, lessons can be interesting, differentiated and tailored to students' interests. With my help, your teachers can become 21st Century educators.
SERVICES
Education is changing. No longer is it acceptable for teachers to stand at the front of the class and students to simply take notes. Students must be engaged, and through the effective use of technology, their interest in subject matter can be greatly enhanced. With assistance from an Instructional Technologist like me, teachers can learn to open their students' minds to inquiry and technology. I am available for consulting, training and instructional design.

Overview of this assignment
The purpose of this page is to introduce myself to prospective clients. This is the first page they will see when they look at my e-dossier, so it needs to have a professional appearance. Additionally, when creating the page, I wanted to do something that would make my e-dossier "stand out," so I decided to include the video that can be see around the edge of the page. I know this may be a bit unorthodox, but I have always believe that one has to take risks to be successful.
This page gives those who view it a basic understanding of some of the experience I have and some of the skills I have learned during my time as a student at Boise State University.
The original design of the page was pretty "basic," and it did not really "stand out" as much as I thought, so I went back and redesigned it to give it a bit more "pop". I wanted to have the border video completely visable for viewers, but I realized that this might make reading the actual content difficult. Again, this is the first page prospective clients will see, so it needs to make a positive impression. If nothing else, I learned to try to think like the client would, so I designed a page that makes an impression but is also easy to navigate.
