The Educational Technology masters program at San Diego State gave me many opportunities to develop my skills as an instructional designer. The diversity of the coursework provided me with ample opportunities to explore the uses of training and technology within K-12 education and the private industry.  I completed the program in 2006 and was selected as the honor graduate representative for the department.

The following list represents some of the projects created as part of the masters program.

• Personal Knowledge Management System - As a part of the final class for the Educational Technology MA, I had to plan and create a personal knowledge management system. I developed two knowledge-bases, one for educational technology resources and one for world history.
  
• VIIDAI Collaborative - This web site and accompanying content management system was developed for VIIDAI, a non-profit organization wanting to market its good deeds to potential donors and create an online community for participants in the program. (Fall 2005)
  
  
• BlackBoard vs. PostNuke - A comparison between a commercial and an open source learning management system. (Fall 2003)
  
  
• EduArt - A mobile technology proposal. (Summer 2002)
  
  
• Scramble for Africa Board Game - My group developed a game that simulated the European scramble for Africa towards the end of the 19th century. I will be actually creating this game for my Humanities and world history classes in Fall 2002. (Fall 2001)
  
  
• Simmigration - An online branching story simulation that has players take on the role of a poor Italian immigrant at the turn of the 20th century. This is only a design document, not the actual game. (Fall 2001)
  
  
• Using Existing WebQuests Job Aid (Spring 2000)
