Lifelong Learner and Doctoral Student

 * My name is [mailto:nellie.muller.deutsch@gmail.com Nellie Deutsch ]. I am currently pursuing a doctorate in educational leadership, specializing in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix online (scheduled to finish in 2009). I am researching blended learning and instructor use of web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning in higher education.
