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.
