Welcome!

Hello everyone! My name is James. Welcome to my blogsite.

So, who am I?

Well, I received my PHD in Curriculum and Instruction – focusing on Educational Technology – from the University of Florida (UF) back in December 2020.

I also have a Master of Business Administration from Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and a Master of Arts in Linguistics. As an undergrad, I studied Telecommunication Operations at the UF College of Journalism and Spanish Language and Literature from the UF College of Liberal Arts.

Some of my passions (in no particular order) include:

• The design, development, and implementation of effective learning solutions for professional development of organizational leaders and university faculty.
• The development of competence in educational technology and project management.
• The application of project management in “non-traditional project-based professions” (especially in Educational Technology and Instructional Design).
• Applications of project-based learning across learning contexts.
• Studying the world’s languages and cultures.

While the original goal of this site was to chronicle my doctoral journey, a larger objective is to share some of the knowledge and key skills I have developed while a Ph.D. student at the University of Florida Educational Technology Program, an educational practitioner across various professional contexts, and a life-long learner.

I hope that in some small way, you will find useful information on this site.  If you have any recommendations for improvement of the site, please Contact Me!

Thank you.
