“I knew I wanted to teach, so DSU was the obvious choice for me. I was drawn to DSU’s history as a school for teacher education, and I loved the small campus. I also appreciated the technology emphasis at DSU; because technology is such a big part of our world and the world our children will inherit, I feel that we are doing learners a disservice if we don’t equip them with technology literacy skills.”
