Hi! I'm Theresa, with OIT Course Delivery. I am fascinated with teaching and learning with technology!
I came to UTK in Nov 2012 from my latest stint in K-12 at Claxton Elementary in Asheville, NC. I seem to alternate between K-12 and Higher Ed. I find each environment informs my work in the other. My background includes having taught Vocational Autoparts with Job Corp. Then I spent 9 years teaching in high school Industrial Technology where I studied under Leslie Huston-Austin in Teacher Induction as part of a TX pilot program which has since become national, took part in a teacher internship at Advanced Micro Devices where I learned to integrate high tech industry into my teaching program and published a curriculum manual, and the I wrote statewide curriculum in Communication Systems. Which, led me to grad school where I received my MA at Appalachian State in Boone, NC. That was so much fun I went to Virginia Tech in Instructional technology where I ended up ABD in 98. Since then, I have supported faculty at Virginia Tech, Colorado College, Adams 14 School District in CO, and have been the director of Instructional Technology at Tusculum College.
Now I'm here to help you at UT. I am having a ton of fun helping faculty revise and develop courses in Blackboard Learn as well as solve problems using the tool. I am blessed to work with a great team. I live in Maryville with my long suffering husband of 35 years and my granddaughter Serenity who is the light of my life!

Do you think it's too much, not enough or just right? Everyone else wrote a sentence or two.
