Hi! My name is Carol Brown. I am associate professor of Instructional Technology at East Carolina University. I began my career as a 5th grade teacher and later became school media specialist in Little Rock Arkansas. I loved working with children both in the classroom and in the center. My most famous student was Chelsea Clinton who was in the 3rd grade at that time. Chelsea loved working on her little computer and learned all her times tables using a drill and practice program we designed just for her.

Later I was accepted into the doctoral program at the University of Memphis where I worked with the author of several textbooks. Dr. Gary Morrison and Dr. Deborah Lowther both shaped my knowledge and understanding in how to use technology effectively for learning. A great professional combination for me is reading and digital resources, thus EDTC 6070 was designed and offered to students at ECU. Digital literacy is an unending topic of study with limitless potential for helping people of all ages learn more and learn better.

I have been at East Carolina since 1999 and enjoy reading, writing, and teaching. I also serve the community through the Book Buddies after school program. You can read about Book Buddies at another of my blogsites.
