Education:
The Masters Degree program in Educational Technology Leadership (attained in 2005) is an innovative program designed to prepare individuals for leadership roles in improving teaching and learning through the application of educational technologies used in K-12 schools, higher education institutions, corporations, organizations, associations, governments and foundations.
The program is founded on three beliefs: (1) that leadership skills and technological competence are fundamental to the appropriate and successful utilization of technologies in educational settings, (2) that access to the requisite knowledge should be universal, despite the barriers of distance, personal physical limitations and lifestyle and (3) that educational technologies focus on improving human performance and learning.
Graduates of the Masters Degree are prepared to assume educational technology leadership positions in K-12 schools, higher education institutions, corporations, organizations, associations, government agencies and foundations. Many students apply their knowledge to existing positions they occupy that have responsibilities for education or training and can benefit from the utilization of instructional technologies.
The mission of the ETL program is to serve current and future leaders in the U.S. and in the international community by offering superior learning opportunities in educational technologies and leadership; and engaging in scholarly activities to advance knowledge and practice in the utilization of educational technologies. A degree from George Washington University is highly regarded both nationally and internationally.
Virtual Student Organization:
Was the founder and president of ETLSO: The Educational Technology Leadership Student Organization (ETLSO) that connects students of the GWU ETL program with each other and the GWU campus. Most ETL students study from a distance. They are located throughout the United States and other parts of the world. They are separated by geography but joined by technology. This organization is a forum for social and educational events. It is a place to network, demonstrate leadership, practice technology skills, and prepare for the work place.
After graduating and passing the project on to successors, ETLSO lasted for another 5 years.
