![]() Hi, my name is Mary Warden. As stated in the 'Author' comments, I am a first-year student in the doctoral Instructional Technology and Design program at the University of Southern Mississippi. I am also an instructor in the medical laboratory science department, here at USM. While teaching, I like to create authentic learning experiences. This preference leads me to use problem-based learning projects in my face-to-face courses. I also like to bring technology into my face-to-face classes as much as possible. My immunodiagnostics course has a project that is based on a game the students can download to their phones. My online teaching course load has ranged from two to eight credit hours a semester for the past four years. I have also taken at least five online courses as a student. Therefore, I am rather well versed in the online classroom. However, I do not believe that I am using the technology available to its fullest potential. I am really looking forward to learning about these technologies and how to incorporate them in my virtual classroom! In the course of my work day I can count on using most of the Microsoft Office tools. I am most comfortable using Word, Exel, and Powerpoint. I am also familiar with email, again I use it on a daily basis. Through teaching and learning online I have become familiar with discussion boards, and live chats. Although I have read and listened to blogs and podcasts, I am unfamiliar with how to create them.

Hi Mary. It's great to meet you! In regards to podcasts, I suggest finding an online application tool to create them. They are super easy and effective for students (like me) who learn by hearing information! I hope you have a great semester.
