Marcie Bober
Department of Education Technology
College of Education

Marcie is an Assistant Professor of Educational Technology. Her current work includes the evaluation of technology infusion grants and professional development practices both in local-area school districts as well as programs for SDSU's preservice teacher education program. In her own words, Marcie "tries to select projects that reflect my views of professional development and the competencies we all need to meet the demands of today's workplace.

As an EdCenter Fellow, Marcie continues exploring technologies and strategies for scaling up her quantitative approach to assessment and evaluation. NPACI resources which may be brought to bear on such efforts include the Sociology Workbench.
