About :: Philosophy

My strong passion for instructional design is due to the fact that it is a process for solving problems. I believe that it can be used to solve problems and support my core beliefs and values at the same time.

Education is for everyone.

Egalitarianism

All people regardless of socioeconomic status are deserving of a valuable and proper educational experience.

Creating your own learning.

Constructivism

Students should be taught how to think not just what to think. They should be allowed to develop and express their ideas compellingly and be able to analyze and evaluate information based on what they know and believe. The best education is learning what you want to know not what they want to teach you.

Working and learning together.

Collaboration

Learning is ongoing. I believe that you can learn the most from the people around you be it students or colleagues. With the new social aspects of the web you can virtually surround yourself with a community of individuals you admire and respect. This enables you to share experiences and collaborate in a whole new way.
