I am not a teacher, but my philosophy of teaching is, enable all learners to gain a full understanding of course materials through the use of active learning, feedback, assessments, and other methods to assure all learners knowledge is enhanced and their skills are increased. As a student I have used multiple methods to integrate technology. For many years I created presentations that did not have technology attached, but technology integration brings the presentation to life and makes creating the presentation more enjoyable.
