ALM ET , Masters in Educational Technologies , 2006 — 2009
I earned a license in Educational Technologies through the CTE program at the Extension school in 2005 and graduated with a Masters in Educational Technologies Degree in June 2009. My topic was about how young people develop an understanding of good citizenship through the making of civic media, such as web sites for members of their community, or PSA videos for people, causes, and communities that they care about and/or feel connected with. My study intersects with Howard Gardner's Good Work project and MIT's civic media lab research.
