About Me...
Aloha. My name is Michael Nelson, and I am a third year master's student in the University of Hawaii, College of Education's on-line Learning Design and Technology (LTEC) program. I graduated with a BA in Finance from Hawaii Pacific University and completed my Post-Baccalaureate Certificate in Secondary Education (Mathematics) at the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
I have been teaching high school math at Waianae High School since 2005, and I currently live in the San Francisco Bay Area with my wife, Kendra, and 13-month old identical twin boys, Olin and Dominic. We are also "Pet Parents" to Heidi - a high-energy, overzealous beagle.
My main motivation for enrolling in the educational technology program was to sharpen my craft as an educator and improve my technology skills. I hope to infuse some of my newly learned skills into my classrooms to improve motivation and enthusiasm for learning. I also hope this program will help me become more fluent with technology and help me to stay current as new technology emerges.
