I am thankful to have completed the Instructional Technology Program through Texas A&M - Texarkana when I did. This program provided me with the tools and confidence needed to deliver the same level of education to my students whether we are present in class or virtual. I am prepared to assist not only my students but fellow co-workers as we navigate these new educational circumstances we are now in.
