My name is Ryan Baker. I graduated from Boise State in 2008 with a degree in political science, a minor in history and an emphasis in secondary education. I've worked in graphic/web design, tech support (for everything from ISPs to cell phones). I'm currently substitute teaching while I - somewhat patiently - wait for openings in local schools. I've been married for 7 years this summer. My wife teaches English at Columbia High School in Nampa, ID and is way smarter than me. My hobbies and interests include graphic design, music, Bronco sports, cooking shows, and constitutional law.
I'm taking this class as part of my masters in educational technology, which I'll finish either this summer or coming fall. I entered into the masters in edtech in order to help leverage my pre-existing tech skills in an educational environment. For this particular class, I hope to develop skills which will allow me to create original content for my class (or at least effectively manipulate existing content for my particular needs).
Hi Ryan, I'll be completing my MET at the end of this summer too (barring unforeseen circumstances!). I'm also hoping that this class will help me develop my ability to create new and interesting materials, rather than relying on ones that have been created by other people.
