Interest
Although my B.A. is in Islamic Studies, I am eager to dig deeper in the IDD program. I have a passion toward teaching, especially teaching children. I enjoyed using Dreamweaver to develop my website. I am keen to know more about new teaching/learning technologies and web 2.0 tools to apply them in the future. I am specially interested in learning more about wiki and blogs as I heard a lot about them and how they are effective in teaching.
