About OIT - Dr. Sandi Glass
Sandi Glass is a technology professional who has championed both instructional and information technology for K-12 and Higher Education. Her first experience supporting education included the development of media for instruction and professional development. As she captured “Best Practices” in the classroom, Dr. Glass learned first hand about the power of technology and curriculum integration.
As desktop computers became connected to powerful networks and the Internet enabled any time and any place learning, Dr. Glass focused on the use of digital content. Convergence brought sound, text and video to the classroom and changed the instructional experience by providing a more authentic and interactive learning environment. Dr. Glass’s interest in media development and instructional technology led to graduate studies that culminated in a Ph.D. from Georgia State University. Her dissertation research focused on the use of networking technology to assess teacher technology competencies. Dr. Glass continues her professional development and is certified in Total Quality Management and Six Sigma. She recently completed the Harvard Management Development Program.
