Staci is a teacher educator and instructional technologist who genuinely cares about her students and seeing them become successful in the classroom. She goes above and beyond to create cutting-edge coursework that encourage teachers to think creatively about their roles as learning facilitators, and helps even those who feel less than proficient with technology feel like they have the ability to be computer geniuses. She is also interested in helping teachers develop outside of the classroom as well, facilitating internships, regularly presenting at conferences with students, and even helping bring current and former students onto the Board of Directors for organizations such as the Indiana Computer Educators, a prominent statewide organization that helps keep Indiana educators connected and empowered with the latest that educational technology has to offer. She considers herself more than just an educator, but a true friend to the teachers she serves, and a lifelong student of the teaching and learning process.
