    With the ALA Annual Conference approaching quickly, I thought it might be nice to introduce ourselves in Connect! My name is Bree Kirsch and I'm the current Chair of Core's Instructional Technologies Interest Group. I work at Briar Cliff University in Sioux City, Iowa. I have an MLIS as well as a masters in education focused on educational technology. I'm also a year into a PhD program in education focused on instructional design and technology. I'd love to see who is part of our interest group if you are willing to share a bit about yourself.

    Sincerely,
    Bree

    Jefferson DeJesus is a proud new member of CORE.  He  is a motivated Librarian experienced in working, training, and managing diverse patrons and staff members.  Jefferson worked in New York Public Library for ten years, mainly at the Andrew Heiskell Braille and Talking Book Library where he utilized Assistive Technologies in instructing Patrons who are Legally Blind and Visually Impaired to use computers.

    He hopes to combine his MS in Library and Information Science with MS in Instructional Technology while focusing on Instructional Design, Online Distance Learning, and Educational Technology while working in Public, Academic, and Special Libraries.  He aims to apply these new skills to be a more productive professional where he can find himself a new home for his career.  In joining CORE Instructional Technologies Interest Group, he hopes to gain new experience in being able to advance in the field.
