Hello from Candace!
It is with great pleasure that we would like to welcome Candace Marcotte to the MAET team. Candace has officially joined us this week as the MAET Program Coordinator.
Candace comes to us with a deep knowledge of the program as an MAET alumna (overseas cohort) and an MAET Certificate instructor. Most recently, Candace has been sharing her enthusiasm for educational technology as a member of the MSU-Wipro STEM and Leadership Fellowship instructional team.
Candace has extensive K-12 classroom experience. She started her career in education teaching 6th grade ELA and science in Ypsilanti, Michigan. After earning her Master of Arts in Educational Technology, she accepted a position as a middle school technology facilitator in Glenview, Illinois. In her role as technology facilitator, Candace worked to support the 1-to-1 learning environment in a range of capacities. One of Candace’s favorite partnerships was working with a group of colleagues who wrote and received a grant to allow for the creation of maker spaces in the middle school libraries in her district.
From co-planning and co-teaching in all content areas to district-wide professional development and the creation of a student start-up program, Candace loves to examine how, through the utilization of TPACK, we can create engaging and accessible lessons for learners of all ages. Her approach to sharing this understanding with other educators is demonstrated in her “TPACK in 2 Minutes” video, which you may have seen.
Most important for us is that Candace is a dedicated and excellent teacher with a deep connection and passion for K-12 education. Additionally, she is committed to providing meaningful and creative learning opportunities to learners and leaders of all ages.
We are delighted to welcome Candace to the team!
Outstanding Faculty Award goes to Punya Mishra!
