CEO at Lifelong Learner, an E-learning Consulting Firm
Israel
I have been working in web technology for nearly a decade and have watched the Internet grow from a curiosity that interested college students with a lot of free time into a platform that is essential for our everyday functioning, from personal entertainment to running a business. I personally believe that using software is a great way to individualize the user experience and thereby optimize it.
I am currently pursuing a Master's degree in Educational Technology and would like to use my computer skills and EdTech knowledge to better utilize technical resources to improve the education experience. My ultimate goal is to gain the experience and knowledge to develop software for kids with learning disorders who are having a hard time learning the skills they need in a traditional environment.
I believe these tools can be integrated into a typical school so there is no need for separate frameworks for these kids who later need to be mainstreamed so they can learn to cope in a typical environment.
