A personal timeline

of educational technology

My name is Jessica Miranda.

I started school in 1985 in Kailua.

I graduated from high school in 1999 in Kailua.

I first went to college at the University of

Northern Colorado in 1999.

When I finish my degree, I hope to become an

ESL and Portuguese language teacher.

Is the use of a full range of low and

high tech tools to expand opportunities for

teaching and learning and, also, to increase the

accessibility of content for students to engage

with and manipulate.
