"Big Idea" and Overview of the Workshop
The purpose of this workshop is to understand what learner-centered teaching is and the research that supports these instructional strategies.

Self Introduction
My name is Dot Gaman and I will be the facilitator of this course. My educational background includes an M.A.E. in Business Education, a graduate certificate in Instructional Design, and I will complete an M.Ed. in Educational Technology with IDOL certification by December 2014.
I am an educational technology enthusiast that believes blended and online learning can be as interactive and engaging as traditional courses. I firmly believe that technology can transform the teaching and learning experience as long as the focus remains learner-centered.
I have an M.A.E. in Business Education from Ball State University, a graduate certificate in Instructional Design from the University of Wisconsin - Stout, and am currently completing my M.Ed. in Educational Technology with an endorsement in Instructional Design for Online Learning (IDOL) from Wright State University. I have been an educator, am currently a Technology Director, and now am preparing for a career in the field of Instructional Design.
