“I found the opportunity to interact with colleagues on a regular basis invaluable! Not only did VOLT provide a basis for online teaching, but it forged a network of professionals, resources and media paramount to success in an ever-changing educational environment that I continue to use.” – Heidi Bazilian, High School English Teacher, PAVCS, Pennsylvania
“As an instructor who knows that students need to be engaged to learn, I appreciate how the VOLT Program presented best practices to engage all students (no matter subject matter), whether online or in a traditional brick and mortar building.” – Maria Geiger, Adjunct Professor, Monmouth University, New Jersey
“The program gave me access to a variety of tools, on the iPad and online, that I use to teach in the classroom and make the content more engaging for my students. I also acquired a list of applications, which allow my students to create richer content that is authentic and creates seamless collaboration.” – Samantha Clarke, Teacher, Ridley SD, Pennsylvania
“As an educator who now supports new teachers in classrooms, I wanted to learn more about technology and education to better support the students in my state. VOLT allowed me the flexibility to attend classes online while building a network with other educators across the country. I left each week with a new idea, concept or platform to share with teachers.”— Alonna Berry, Teach For America Delaware; Manager, Alumni & Teacher Impact
“VOLT taught me a great deal about digital literacy, designing my online classroom and lessons, and making online learning fun and enjoyable for my students while giving them a rigorous education. I have more confidence in my lesson planning, execution. I’ve learned scaffolding my lessons and understand differentiated instruction better. I love my extensive library of resources you gave me. I have also become a pillar and a mentor teacher in my school because of how I share my teaching strategies from my extensive knowledge of educational technology.”— Daphne Harvey, Teacher, Alabama Virtual Academy, Alabama
“As an educator, the VOLT program was invaluable for pushing me to expand the walls of my classroom and re-conceptualize what teaching and learning should look like. The online format allowed me to immediately apply course material to my professional practice.”— Allison Gubanich, Curriculum and Instruction Leader, AIM Academy, Pennsylvania
