• Gina Amenta-Shin Ed. D.
  Gina is a member of ISTE's NETS for Teachers Writing Team and NSCD's Staff Development Standards for Online Learning Team . Through her past experiences as both a doctoral student and professor, Gina has developed multiple perspectives of distance learning - using interactive technology and virtual communities to facilitate online professional development. Her research interests include analyses of how learners construct their own understanding based on their prior experience. She believes it is important to build on the conceptual and cultural knowledge students bring to the classroom and to discover strategies for strengthening achievement for all students in a collaborative culture. The majority of Dr. Amenta-Shin's work with NICI introduces teachers to a process for rethinking classroom teaching and learning. Through an inquiry-based learning approach educators discuss, study, plan, apply, and reflect on integrating technology into a student-centered learning environment.
