​Hello from the Sunshine State. I’m proof that education has no geographical boundaries. I'm the
instructor for your course as well as being a colleague and fellow lifelong learner.

I'm excited about working with you and sharing my enthusiasm for Online Learning. My personal goal for
this course is to help you explore how online education can be leveraged to reach learners and to
challenge your preconceptions about online learning.

My course philosophy is that we are learners together—and that’s not just a cliché for me. I expect to learn
from you (I’m excited about that) and expect each of you to learn from each other. I have instructor
responsibilities, but I see my role more as a coach and facilitator. I want my students to take control of their
learning and push boundaries.

I retired from HS teaching after 34 years in public education. In my “Final Four” years, I was the HS
librarian, the Technology Coach, and then the Graduation Project Online Instructor, all for Peters Twp SD.
In my career, I have been a HS English and journalism teacher, a restaurant owner, a presenter at
educational conferences, a community college reference librarian, a grant reader and an online
professional development instructor. Whew.

At Waynesburg, I teach EDU518 (Effective Online Strategies), EDU505 (Intro to Ed Tech) and EDU508
(Contemporary Issues in Technology). I recently worked as an office manager/bookkeeper Now and then,
I do educational consulting work. I like to be busy.

When I'm not working, I used to like to read and travel. I hope to be able to travel again someday. After a
lifetime as a Pittsburgher, I moved to Austin, Texas, a few years ago. My heart belongs in Texas but I now
reside in Florida. I love BBQ chips and Diet Dr. Pepper. I love walks, theaters and movies.

I also love that technology lets me teach anywhere at any time. Mostly I love working with my students.
Terry
