Technology: the body of knowledge available to a society that is of use in fashioning, implementing, and practicing manual arts and skills, and extracting or collecting materials.   – The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition
Hello I’m Todd Beard. I have dedicated myself to the study of educational technology, incorporating technology applications in the field of education. Specifically, I see a great need for these skills in area schools where there is currently a lack of personnel capable of analysis, implementation, and instruction in the uses of the educational technology available. I envision my future career efforts directed towards teaching teachers and school districts how to make effective uses of their technology. I will research computer aided learning strategies, and instruct others on how to do so. I will differentiate instruction and design some of the some most engaging curriculums using advancement in incorporating technology applications in the field of education.
