My name is Nkenze Jones, and I am in the Education Specialist Degree program in Instructional Technology at Kennesaw State University. I began the program Summer 2015 and will graduate Fall 2016. I graduated from Valdosta State University in 2004 with a Bachelor’s degree in Early Childhood Education. Immediately after graduation, I began teaching elementary school and enter graduate school at Walden University. I earned a Master's degree in Reading Literacy in Spring 2007.
I currently teach kindergarten students at Westside Elementary School in Coffee County. KSU's reputation in instructional technology led me to the Specialist's Degree program in the Department of Instructional Technology. My ultimate goal is to obtain a job as a technology coach. I hope to continue my education by pursuing my doctoral degree in Instructional Technology at KSU.
The purpose of this portfolio is for me to demonstrate mastery of the PSC Instructional Technology standards and the ISTE NETS-C standards. As you can see, there are a series of links below the KSU logo that you can visit. Of particular importance is the "standards" link. Under this link, you will see a series of artifacts and reflections documenting the important work I have completed during this program. Each artifact represents mastery of the standard under which it is represented.
I have thoroughly enjoyed my experience at Kennesaw State University, and feel that I am well-prepared to integrate technology into my classroom and to assist other educators in using technology and providing professional learning opportunities for them.
