Robert at KSU
Introduction:
This website was created for an Instructional Technology (ITEC) class project for the spring of 2010 at main campus of Kent State University (KSU). It will highlight some of my new computer instructional skills I have mastered in the last several months at school. The website will also serve as the online source for my curriculum vitae (CV), resume and work samples.
It is my first time back to school at Kent State in a long time and things have really changed. For example, no more punch cards to use to program your computer! Currently, I am enrolled as a full time student for the spring 2010 semester taking seven classes for a total of 18 credit hours. Not really sure what I was thinking in January when I signed up for all these courses other than I could not afford nor would my grant allow me to spread them out over four or five semesters. However, I am sure once I conclude my studies this summer and graduate I will be glad this was completed in less than 8 months.
My current studies at KSU are primarily focused in the Instructional Technology (ITEC) program even though I will graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in General Studies from the College of Arts and Science. Furthermore, I will also be able to earn my certificate of Online Teaching and Learning Activities during the same period from the department of Education, Health and Human Services at Kent State University.
Since I have not taken any educational classes at the university level before, I have had to rely on my last 7 years of classroom instructing to assist me in my ITEC course work. I have posted examples from that time period and updated some of them to reflect my new classroom skills. In addition, several new and exciting methods of instructing children and adult learners are posted.

Each of the of the 9 college’s at Kent State University chooses a student to represent their college at graduation. My selection was on the recommendation of Associate Dean E.
