"My instructor was Jolene Erlacher. Jolene was easy to reach and very easy to communicate with. I liked how she first introduced each module via her own personal screencast, and then included the follow up links and articles. I also love being provided choice. Just like our students, being offered choices is very valuable to me. Jolene provided us choices in assignments, forums, zoom sessions, etc. I appreciated that so much and because of that, I was able to tailor this class to meet my personal and professional needs. I also appreciated that our class readings provided information and insight on both sides of the technology equation. No matter what you think or believe, it's always important to be familiar with another perspective or take on things. This is just one more way I feel this course was tailored perfectly to meet not just my needs, but most likely all of my classmates needs as well. "
