Bloomsburg University Instructional Technology Students Win Awards

Last night I had the pleasure of attending the Bloomsburg University College of Science and Technology Spring Honors Symposium and students from a number of departments were honored. The departments honoring students included:

• Audiology and Speech Pathology
  
• Biological and Allied Health Sciences
  
• Chemistry and Biochemistry
  
• Exercise Science and Athletics
  
• Geography and Geosciences
  
• Instructional Technology
  
• Mathematics, Computer Science and Statistics
  
• Nursing
  
• Physics and Engineering Technology

While I think all of our Instructional Technology students are amazing, our department noted three students for special recognition.

• Sara Dierk (an online student)
  
• Jessica Laasonen
  
• Anthony Ruth

Jessica and Tony receive their awards.

It is so gratifying to see students doing so well and to see their passion for learning and for the field. Both Jessica and Anthony (as well as most of our students this semester) already have jobs working at Kaplan-EduNeering and BMS.

But students don't get out of the program without a lot of hard work. Below are students in my class doing breathing exercises as they learn about preparing for presentations. It goes to show that all the hardwork pays off. Even if it seems silly at the time.

Students practice breathing exercises to learn how

 to "throw" their voices to the back of the room.
