"My experience helped me fine-tune my skills and learn more about the things that I enjoy learning about. Without this experience, I don't think I would have the desire to learn about new and emerging technology." -Jasmine Harris-Speight,'14,'19 Extension Associate II, Mississippi State University
" I wish that I had known about the program sooner but glad that I completed it when I did because I learned so much about many of the new programs and concepts that are coming to light now that education has been forced to examine the aspects of the digital ecosystem." -Justin Putnam,'04,'18 Instructional Technology Coach, Confluence Academies
