Maria Galindo-Parra is an Educational Technology Specialist based in the US.
Learning is Collaborating.
Learning does not happen in a vacuum. We build knowledge from and with each other. I create learning products and solutions that emphasize the importance of collaboration in improving human development and performance. Together, we make it.
Purpose
The main purpose of this portfolio is to help future clients have access to my work and get to know me and my vision. The diversity of jobs I am interested in has defined what is included on this website.
My goal is to provide solutions to my clients’ needs based on my recent education, my experience, and my love for technology as a tool to enhance learning.
Business
Most opportunities for Instructional Designers come from the industry and business sectors, Therefore, I have included here some examples that show my recent work as a Business and Communications Manager, as well as some entrepreneurial projects in the field of Learning & Development.
Many of the graduate course projects created during my studies where corporate-oriented, so they are included here as well.
Higher Ed
Thanks to my own online learning, and my work at Georgia State University, Life University, and Georgia Highlands College, I have gathered much experience related to online education, LMS troubleshooting and maintenance, classroom technology, and simulation.
I have included here artifacts that could be of interest to a Higher Ed recruiter in search of an Educational Technology Specialist or Simulation Technology Specialist for their Higher Education institution.
K-12
As a recent graduate in EdTech with many years of experience in K-12 education, I have a special interest in positions that will draw from both fields.
For that reason, I have included artifacts here that would be useful for a K-12 recruiter in need of a Instructional Technology Coach/Coordinator, or a Director of Educational Technology for their school or district, in public or private education institutions.
Leading is inspiring.
My leadership classes helped me assess my own experience as a manager and EdTech Specialist Lead, and create my own philosophy of leadership.
