Teaching
My teaching philosophy is grounded in social constructivism, focusing on situated learning, leveraging technology-enhanced cognitive tools, and cognitive apprenticeship models. I actively apply these principles to my undergraduate and graduate-level teaching in face-to-face and online courses as well as mentoring relationships with graduate students in research groups.
