My Portfolio Page on "Sampling Technology To Teach a Dental Assisting Module"
Introduction Page
Welcome to my Wiki page. I've been teaching as an Adult Educator for over 25 years. I'm a graduate of SUNY Oswego for Vo-Tech Education and Work-Based Learning Instruction. I'm now in the ETAP's Graduate Program for Curriculum Development and Online Teaching Certification. I teach Dental Assisting for a private school in the evenings. My primary position is as a Dental Oral & Maxillo-Facial Surgery Assistant in the Army Hospital at West Point, NY. I also teach Patient Safety to our dental and hospital staff and soon the Basic Life Support course. I'm active in volunteer work for our soldiers and their families on West Point and Stewart Air Base in Newburgh, NY.
I'm born and raised in the Mid-Hudson Valley along the beautiful Hudson River. I spent most of my summer weekends kayaking, fishing, wine tasting, and spending time with family and friends. In the winter months I snow mobile and shovel lots of snow. I have two grown children that are independent and live on their own. My career goals include creating online courses for Dental Assistants and traveling within my Army employment.
My Topic/Purpose
Sampling Technology to Teach a Dental Assisting Module
The purpose of this course is to assist educators in sampling technology into a once traditional course of dental assisting instruction.
The focus to keep in mind throughout my design of instruction:
1) Which technology will be more appropriate for this type of instruction?
2) Will the learning outcomes be met by the use of the technology?
3) When is it time to update technology to meet the set performance goals?
The Discussion tab above is an area for you to share your thoughts when answering the above questions. I encourage you to post your answers/opinions and share your experiences as it relates to this mini-course. Please reply to several peer discussion postings for a continuation of learning after the completion of my mini-course..
