Introduction

Hello classmates,

My name is Carlyss Lewis. Here is a little background on me. I spent several years employed as a Graphic Designer before going into education. I'ver worked in education for the past 10 years and have worked as an Career Tech. Instructor, a Technical Training Administrator in Adult Education and am currently employed as my district's Enrollment Manager.

I have two sons (19 and 26). Both are heavily into computers. The 19 year old is at UofM Dearborn studying in Computer Engineering. The 26 year old graduated from WSU and is now employed as an Software Engineer at Microsoft. YESSSSSSS (one down... one to go  :-)  )

Education wise I have an assortment of different degrees: Bachelor in Computer Technology, Master in Career & Technical Education, Ed. Tech in Administration. After finishing my Ed. Tech degree last year, I am considering trying to pursue a Ph.D. in Learning and Design Technology since I have a great interest in this area. Hence, enrollment in this class.

I really do not have a lot of hobbies since I don't have much time available between work and school, but when I do have a little time I enjoy watching Korean Drama, playing with my two dogs and hanging out with family. I also love all things technical, but am an avid lover of all things APPLE.

I look forward to a great class and getting to know each of my classmates.

  1. Hello Carlyss,

    I see that we have similar backgrounds with keeping busy with our education. I have B.S. Degree in Printing Production and Management Technology, M.S. Degree in Industrial Technology and Ed Specialist in Instructional Technology. I have given up on pursuing a PhD in IT and decided to obtain an Online Teaching Certification in IT for now. I have this one class left. I will see where this takes me.

    I look forward to working with you in this class.

  2. Hi Carlyss,
    I just want to say that your background is very impressive and I'm sure that a online teaching certificate will enhance your other work.

  3. Welcome, and agreed with the previous comments! (esp. the one about a Ph.D. ...not worth it ;-)
