Why start this blog?

My goal in starting this blog is to make sense of the theories and tools I’m picking up while in graduate school and be a part of the conversation on the social and economic shifts happening in learning and education. I’m interested in the intersection of education, learning design, technology, and society, particularly but not limited to online learning.

I want to share my thoughts on learning design and edtech to educators, subject matter experts, students, instructional designers and everyone who cares about education. As I write this, I’m in my second semester in the MA in Learning, Design, and Technology program at Georgetown University in Washington D.C. I also work part-time as a Graduate Associate at Center for New Designs in Learning and Scholarship at the university. My background is in international development, particularly in policy and programming, knowledge management, and communications in the areas of climate change, agriculture, and environment. I’m from the Philippines but I’ve also lived in Germany and am now in the US. I also hope to share my experiences and reach out to those considering entering the field of edtech and learning design, especially those coming from a different domain like me.
